This is caused by a compatibility issue between TA-Proofpoint-TAP 1.3.117 and DBX 3.1.3.
To work around the error, and resolve the issue please downgrade the TA-Proofpoint-TAP to version 1.0.1

Hi there, just in case this can help. I had the exact same issue and wanted to stay on both versions mentioned above.
My workaround was to copy the splunklib folder from /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_instrumentation/bin/splunk_instrumentation/splunklib to /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/bin/splunklib

Works perfectly now.
