Date filed Issue number Description
2022-03-24 DBX-5641 DBX Error: HTTP 404 ACTION FORBIDDEN
2020-08-31 DBX-5169 `dbxquery` could not parse column value containing Chinese Traditional text
2020-06-24 DBX-5099 Error handling a request: java.lang.NullPointerException: null
2020-06-22 DBX-5096 After upgrade DBconnect 3.3+ dbxquery breaks with error "Error in 'dbxquery' command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 1"

Workaround:
DBconnect 3.3+ modifies the parameters for the dbxquery command.

If you had a local override from a DBX version older than 3.3, this will contain configuration and arguments for the old version of the command.


Solution is to remove/review the whole [dbxquery] stanza from commands.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local


2020-06-03 DBX-5078 DBXQuery hangs when running 'Execute SQL' Preview

2020-03-24 DBX-4988 Warnings of python.version on post Splunk 8

Workaround:
.../etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/README/. Neither of these files exist by default.
