Hi,

We are facing error when a SPL with dbxquery is run on splunk. The strange thing is the issue is intermittent and we checked the internal logs and found it only occured on just one search heads out of 5 in cluster. I am not sure why this is happening and what I can check at splunk end to fix this.
