Splunk DB Connect: Why do I receive "Checkpoint value is required in Advanced input mode" error?

[jeremeek]

I'm trying to setup Splunk DB Connect with a new DB input. When i get to the choose and preview table i'm doing an advanced input type, it keeps failing with error "Checkpoint value is required in Advanced input mode". Not sure what it is wanting for a checkpoint value.
