Date filed	Issue number	Description
2023-05-26	DBX-5787	Inputs containing interval in a Non Standard cron expression cause failures Workaround: Splunk Modular Inputs only support Standard cron expressions, as DB Connect does. To fix the issue you can modify the cron expression for the affected Input in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/inputs.conf and $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/db_inputs.conf, then restart Splunk. You can also fix it by following the steps below: Disable the Input. Adjust Interval to be a Standard cron expression. Enable the Input.
2023-03-28	DBX-5771	Disable/enable connections cause "Unable to process JSON" error Workaround: In case the problem persists after migrating to a version that is supposed to be free of this bug, you will need to clear your browser caches.
2022-12-08	DBX-5789	Allow Inputs and Outputs names to contain dots characters
2022-11-30	DBX-5790	Database account get locked after password rotation
2022-10-27	DBX-5728	Keystore password getting tampered for non US-ASCI customers
2022-10-19	DBX-5715	Upgrading DBX to 3.10 fails with 'Cannot run program "keytool": error=2, No such file or directory' when $JAVA_HOME isn't part of $PATH Workaround: add $JAVA_HOME to $PATH for the user running splunk so that the command "keytool" can be found in $PATH or upgrade to DBX 3.11+ instead
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.
2022-10-10	DBX-5706	Issue with Input names containing dashes "-"
