Hello,

I'm having problems when trying to connect to a database through DB Input, when I click on validate the following error message appears:

"com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool $ PoolInitializationException: failed to initialize the pool: the driver was unable to establish a secure connection to SQL Server using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error:" SQL Server did not return a answer. The connection has ended. ClientConnectionId: 5d293ec3-b435-4981-9f69-31103f087942 ".

I tried with the SSL option enabled and disabled, but both without success.alt text

Can someone help me?

Thank you!

Att,
Jefferson

The error message says the SQL server is not responding.  Have you verified connectivity from Splunk to the SQL server?  Have you checked the DBX logs ($SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunk_app_db_connect*) for more information?  Do you have the right driver installed?
