What's new in Splunk DB Connect

What's new in DB Connect 3.1.0

Usability improvement: Updates to input, lookup, and output creation make configuration easier and more powerful than ever.
Bulk operations: Save administration time and effort by creating, editing, or deleting many similar inputs at once. See Bulk operations of the database input
Template support: Splunk-supported add-ons can now pre-populate input configurations via DB Connect templates, saving time and reducing error. Template creation is not supported at this time. See Create and manage database input.
Health check support: Detect and diagnose common issues with Splunk DB Connect in the Splunk monitoring console (requires version 6.5 or greater). See Check DB Connect installation health.

You can now specify the time zone for input data in a new TimeZone field when creating database connections so that datetime type data indexed from the source database will be automatically converted to the datetime in the Splunk server's local time zone. Time zone settings configured in props.conf in previous versions is deprecated and will not be honored. See create a database connection for details.
Set the time range for scheduled DB Connect outputs. See create and manage database output for more.
Support was added for creating identities without passwords, for specialized connection types.
