Hi,
I am using Splunk 6.3.
Now I would like to update Splunk to 6.5 but I want to keep using DB connect v1 first.
Does Splunk 6.5 support DB connect v1 app?

@supyng,

In addition to @tlam_splunk answer, PLEASE READ the migration path from v1 to v3.

DBX 1.x is deprecated and not supported:
NOTE - Splunk DB Connect version 1.x reached its End of Life on July 28, 2016.

Additionally, DBX 1.x will not work on Splunk 6.5 because even DBX 2.2.0 can only support up to 6.4.

I'll suggest to upgrade to the latest v3.0.2.
