Supply the values in the stanza, restart the host and the table populates.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 23 Sep 2020 22:05:49 GMT putnamblake 2020-09-23T22:05:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/DB-Connect-App-template/m-p/521149#M88068 <P>Hi All,</P><P>&nbsp; I'm using DB Connect 3.x - I want to create a template for future MS-SQL connections to speed the process up for others. I've read I can accomplish this by moving db_inputs_template.conf from add-on/default to dbconnect/local.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp; In my dev region I have DBX 3.x installed and the MS-SQL add on installed as well. However due to some limitations and constraints of the region I am unable to test the functionality.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp; So I am wondering if I can just copy/ touch the db_inputs_templates.conf in dbconnect/local and have it populate the drop down with the templates without the addon(s) installed?</P> Wed, 23 Sep 2020 20:06:21 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/DB-Connect-App-template/m-p/521149#M88068 putnamblake 2020-09-23T20:06:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/DB-Connect-App-template/m-p/521160#M88071 <P>Here to answer my own question- I have tested and yes you are able to create the db_inputs_template.conf whether borrowed from addon/default or using touch in dbconnect/local.
