Hello everyone,

I am trying to configure a connection for MSSQL version 2008, however the DB connect message is Connection is invalid / (No detail).

I have already tested the account and it works in SQL Express, since splunk I have open the port by telnet.

Splunk version: 7.3.3
Splunk DB Connect: 3.1.4 (I have tried with 3.3.1)
Driver: sqljdbc_4.2 and sqljdbc_7.2

Thanks for your help

The error message does not help to identify what is going on. As you already verify the account, my suggestion is to follow the troubleshooting the db connect to get more information about the issue
Please check the documents below:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/DeployDBX/Troubleshootingn addition, please check what are the logs
When I am deployment the DB Connect, I am also deployed the JTDS generic(jtds-1.3.1.jar) driver as well -> http://jtds.sourceforge.net/
