Hi,

maybe the port 9998 is already in use by another service? Besides have a look at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.3/DeployDBX/Troubleshooting

Greetings

The symptom is supposed to be fixed in the latest release(DB Connect app 3.14) as below:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/ReleaseNotes/Releasenotes
DBX-4623 Compatibility issue with splunk_app_db_connect 3.1.3 and TA-Proofpoint-TAP 1.3.117 keeps DBX from loading.

You need to upgrade the DB Connect app. This is a bug in the lower version of the app and compatibility issue. Please check with the release notes.
