Can splunk db connect app in version 8 communicate with Splunk UI with version 7

[akarivaratharaj]

I have my Splunk DB connect app installed on one of the servers with splunk version 8. My search app is installed on another server with Splunk Enterprise version 7, which is considered as the Splunk UI.

Do the DB connect app from version 8 communicate with search head with version 7?

Because none of my job inputs in DB connect app are sending logs to my search head of version 7.

Could anyone please help on this issue.

We had the issue with DB connect version. So the app is upgraded to the current version. Now the app is working fine.

The issue is resolved.

We would need to know more about your Splunk environment, including the number that comes after the 7, what instance type is running DB Connect, and why logs are being sent to a SH instead of an indexer. 

Perhaps https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.2/DistSearch/Distsearchsystemrequirements#Compatibi... will help answer your question.
