It couldn't have the hyphen/dash (-) in the name, which was strange, since it allowed that index to be created. But now we all know that if this shows up, look for (and remove) any hyphens is the index name.</P> Tue, 29 Dec 2015 22:55:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Splunk-DB-Connect-2-Metadata-configuration-problem-Why-am-I/m-p/260038#M29973 cpetterborg 2015-12-29T22:55:11Z
