DB connect page not loading

Strangertinz — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 23:46:39 GMT

Hi community,

I am trying to connect to the DB connect app and i am constantly redirected to

http://$HOST/en-US/app/splunk_app_db_connect/ftr

What is the FTR and how can I get rid of this error or force a redirection to a DB app that will work.

I tried deleting the app folder in the ($SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps) directory and reinstalling but still getting the same error. Any assistance here will be greatly appreciated.

I still have the same issue. I tried with version 3.17.0 / 3.18.0 had the same issue. I am using Splunk 9.2.2 and DB connect 3.16.0 worked fine, is this a version issue ?

Thanks @isoutamo , that's pretty much what I am looking.

I don't know if that a version issue/bug but only difference I can find between the working install and non working install is the linux kernel that I am use.

kernel version	DB connect version - Not Working	DB connect version - working
3.10.0	3.17.0 / 3.18.0	3.16.0
5.14.0	-	3.17.0 / 3.18.0 /3.16.0

Sometimes, I also have the issue where the app gets launched but doesn't the configuration page remains empty or doesn't move forward past a point.

Is this a common issue with Splunk DB Connect as well ?

Regards,

Pravin

If you are using Splunk 9.x then linux kernel 3.1 support has removed https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.3.1/ReleaseNotes/Deprecatedfeatures

I am using Splunk 9.2.2

Sorry that I forgot to mention the version of Splunk in the earlier version.

Are you using the same Java version on both environments?

It was just a versioning issue. Had to install the latest db connect app and that solved my issue.

However I am facing the issue again as I tried to go back to an older version with a splunk db connect and facing the same issue while on splunk 9.3.1

Hi @Strangertinz ,

I tried the same steps done by you, going back and forth versions and had the same issues as mentioned. I think it's a bug in the splunk db connect app.

Thanks,

Pravin

Hi @_pravin

you can correct the issue by going to latest version of db_connect assuming you are running 9.2.x splunk.

I am still dealing with the issue of the latest version not seeing data send from my db_connect. Has this ever happened to you and how did you resolve it? I cant find any error log to point to the main issue

Hi guys,

I had the same issue with Splunk 9.3.0 and DB Connect 3.8.x. To solve this just has to clear the cashe of the browser.
