According the Splunk, if your database not listed in Splunk DB Connect 3, is necessary configure the new database according the link
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.2/DeployDBX/Installdatabasedrivers

Was Configurated according this

  1. Driver download and input and the drivers directory
  2. Include in directory local, the file db_connection_types.conf with this configuration

After this, the splunk was restarted and no have any information of this database in my Splunk Db Connect

For undefined/unsupported databases, you'll need to:

  1. Install JDBC driver file.
  2. Add custom database to db_connection_type.conf
    example of db_connection_type.conf:

    [dummy_DB_type]
    

    displayName = dummy_DB
    serviceClass = com.splunk.dbx2.DefaultDBX2JDBC
    jdbcDriverClass = $JDBC driver class$
    jdbcUrlFormat = $JDBC URI Format$
    ui_default_catalog = $database$

Once you restarted Splunk, you can go configuration -> Connections -> New connection.
dummy_DB should be available in dropdownlist of "Connection Type"
