Splunk DB Connect: Why is MongoDb not working correctly?

[davidnascimento]

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"

Hi davidnascimento,
You need configurate:

• Identities (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/DeployDBX/Createandmanageidentities)
• Connections (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/DeployDBX/Createandmanagedatabaseconnections)

And continue the next steps, check this (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.1.4/DeployDBX/Createandmanagedatabaseinputs)

regards!
