Hi all,

I'm using Splunk 7.3.0 and DB Connect 3.1.4.

I created multiple connections between databases and my splunk instance.
Input job seems to execute at 6am all day. I can see this info in "Splunk DB Connect/Health/DB Connect Input Health".

My problem :

Since few days, i'm not able to execute SQL in the Data Lab section.
When i try to execute SQL request for a connection, the SQL editor return the following error

Error in 'dbxquery' command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 126.

I don't understand this error.

Can you help me to resolve this issue please ?
