Hi guys,

I'm trying to connect Splunk DB Connect 2 with a SQL Azure database. Should this work? Are there any special considerations?

Any help will be grateful

Thank you

Sure, though I had to make some changes/additions to various conf files to get this to work.

..\Splunk\etc\apps\splunk_app_db_connect\local\db_connection_types.conf
Add the following stanza

[sqlazure]
displayName = SQLAzure
useConnectionPool = false
jdbcDriverClass = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
serviceClass = com.splunk.dbx2.MSSQLJDBC
port = 1433
jdbcUrlFormat =jdbc:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;databaseName=<database>
testQuery = SELECT 1 AS test

..\Splunk\etc\apps\splunk_app_db_connect\local\db_connections.conf
(this is mine just in case, I didn't need to make changes)

[yourDBName]
connection_type = sqlazure
database = yourDBName
host = yourDBServer
identity = yourIdentity
readonly = 1
disabled = 0
port = 1433

..\Splunk\etc\system\local\web.conf
add line

splunkdConnectionTimeout = 120
