DBInput from MSSQL database is not working because it cannot write records .

Can you help me how to fix this? Error log is below, Splunk version is 6.5.3 and Splunk DB Connect is the latest.

I found that the problem is on HTTP Event Collector itself. When I tested using curl, I got Server busy error.

I fixed this by removing "useDeploymentServer=1" parameter in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_httpinput/local/inputs.conf.

Thanks to @starcher 's comment on "After configuring the HTTP Event Collector, why am I receiving a "Server is busy" error?" question.

Now DBConnect is working fine.
