Splunk DB Connect 2: Why am I getting "No rpc server enabled" trying to read a MySQL query?

Hi all,

I updated my DB Connect yesterday and there are problems reading a MySQL query. I have the error below:

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/bin/dbxquery.py"", line 123 : No rpc server enabled" "

The RPC Service is UP after correct the JRE path.

Can anybody help me, please?

Thanks!

Can you check the following path and verify what the disabled value for this stanza is set to?

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/admin/splunk_app_db_connect/local/inputs.conf

[rpcstart://default]

This has been found set to 1 after an upgrade and has been overriding the local app config. Changing it to 0 or deleting the file entirely should resolve the issue (after a reboot).

Same here;

This am DB Connect v2 to MS SQL worked.
Upgraded DB Connect V2, and CIM.
Restarted Splunk.

DBconnect v2 to MS SQL 'validate' works. "Query" page has complete set of tables to select in "Simple Query mode".
Find on previously listed table fails with :
""/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/bin/dbxquery.py"", line 123 : No rpc server enabled" "

Green RPC status.

Verified with tcpdump to port 1433, 'validate' shows sql network traffic versus 'simple query" NO port 1433 traffic.

Thank you
