DBConnect duplicates data

In DBConnect I configured a tailed database input and is working fine. I use a true incremental field to track inserts and updates. But every update is added to the index as duplicated events.

Is there any way to configure dbconnect to recognize updated rows by its primary key and avoid duplicates?

Hi,

I resolved the almost the same issue (I am usong the 2.3 version of the app) by setting the ADVANCED tab setting for the rising column.
In fact you should put the '?' in the query to tell Splunk start the query (depending on the cron schedule) starting from a threshold (bigger or smaller value) so you will not have the same results and duplicates any time the query is executed.

Try reading the user guide of the app dbxconnect:

Have a nice day,
Skender
