Hello everyone,

I am trying to configure Splunk DB connect app, and getting next one error in logs:

2023-01-12T14:46:28+0300 [ERROR] [settings.py], line 89 : Throwing an exception
Traceback (most recent call last):

Folder /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect has owner splunk too -

drwx------. 18 root root 4096 Jan 12 13:44 splunk_app_db_connect

My splunk is working from user splunk

grep SPLUNK_OS_USER= /opt/splunkforwarder/etc/splunk-launch.conf
SPLUNK_OS_USER=splunk

What is the reason, can anyone help?
