Splunk DBX v1.0.9 Java Bridge Server not running

ktang — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 13:52:12 GMT

Greetings Splunk Answers,

I recently upgraded from Splunk DB Connect 1.0.8 to 1.0.9 and am now experiencing an issue where the Java Bridge Server stays in a "loading" state. I don't utilize search head pooling in my env.

I don't see the 'Splunkd REST Keep-alive' entries in the dbx.log.
I am seeing numerous entries where the BridgeSession continually executes...but successfully. status=0 ...?

dbx.log:
2013-05-08 22:28:03.665 dbx6779:INFO:BridgeSession - Executing Bridge command: BridgeExecutionInfo{className=com.splunk.bridge.cmd.Reload}

2013-05-08 22:28:03.666 dbx6779:INFO:ExecutionContext - Execution finished in duration=2 ms

I'm not seeing any issues with in the jbridge.log file.

I suppose the answer lies in why I'm getting numerous BridgeSession executions...but I'm not sure.
Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
ktang

This looks like the Java Bridge started up successfully. Where are you seeing it in a "loading" state? It is normal to have multiple Execution sessions. What do you see when you go to the status page here: http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/dbx/dbxstatus

This issue was resolved by resetting the db password in the database.conf file.

I have a similar problem .... dbx version 1.1.2 ....
The page sits there and flashes .... "Java Server Bridge is loading".

Any suggestions?

In my case, I found "The Java Bridge is loading" when I select wrong Role Permission.

In conclusion, DO NOT select EVERYONE in APP Permission Role & select ONLY "This APP ONLY" in Sharing for config file-only objects

Killing Java PID did the trick for me.
