2022-10-28 DBX-5721 Output configured in DB connect app does not work intermittently and failed to insert data in the DB when run on cron. When the output is run manually for the same data, it is successful.

Workaround:
When the output fails, the same is run manually and works just fine.
2022-10-19 DBX-5714 warning on startup for "Invalid key in stanza" for key "run_only_one" on Splunk 8.1.x

Workaround:
None needed, this option is for later splunk versions, but doesn't break anything on older ones, it's safe to ignore the warning.
2022-07-03 DBX-5666 Health Check: dbxquery command conf's filename property should be java.path, but it is: dbxquery_bridge.py now.

Workaround:
DB Connect works with the authentication method the customer is using. It is only the Health Check reporting the odd message which the customer flagged.

The customer stated: 1. Yes, I can connect to the Microsoft SQL server using DB Connect without any issues. 2. I am using the jTDS drive with Windows Authentication.
