Getting error when trying to install DB Connect.

gwcon

I tried looking for 8 hours and no result found.

I have an SQL database that serves no purpose other than to add data into Splunk for testing (it has an online form to get the data in).

When I try to install DB Connect, this gives an error:

 

"There was an error processing your request. It has been logged (ID 7122576f9fb1563d)."

 


When I telnet from Splunk to the SQL server I get the event below.

 

splunk@Splunk:~$ telnet 10.0.4.4 3306
Trying 10.0.4.4...
Connected to 10.0.4.4.
Escape character is '^]'.

!#08S01Got packets out of orderConnection closed by foreign host.
splunk@Splunk:~$

 

So that seems to be working-ish.
When I search on the error ID I get the following (see below).

I'd love a hint, if not a solution, of where to look for a solution. Feel free to ask more details if needed.

[mysqld]
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
# skip-networking

in /etc/mysql/my.cnf resolved the issue
Also, give correct permissions to the SQL database user.

This page helped me.

Mainly the comment from SteveHoober on the bottom of the page.

Take into account that you can just install a mysql client on your splunk instance that will spit out error codes and give A LOT more information. Good luck for who has this issue, it took me two days..  Be brave.
