I have a table in our application database that records when reports are generated. It includes great info such as the report type, the duration the report took, start/end, parameters, etc. </P> <P>I'd love to have Splunk generate some sort of timechart on the different report types, or perhaps even a way to see how many concurrent reports are being generated. My question is, how can I have splunk query the db (as it does any normal file) for this information? Is it possible?</P> <P>Thank you, it may be a dumb question but I'm trying <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:27:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-Splunk-to-search-values-pulled-from-an-Oracle-DB/m-p/114907#M8473 soleblazer 2014-09-08T12:27:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/How-to-use-Splunk-to-search-values-pulled-from-an-Oracle-DB/m-p/114908#M8474 <P>Probably the easiest way would be to install and use the <A href="http://apps.splunk.com/app/958/">Splunk DB Connect </A> app. With it, you can connect to and index your Oracle tables or just run SQL queries on them within Splunk. The documentation for DB Connect is <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.1.4/DeployDBX/Abouttheconnector">here</A>.
