Solved: Splunk DB connect V2 and encrypted data

templier · ‎08-31-2016

Hello,
We use splunk db connect v2 to connect to encrypted DB.
In order to obtain the decrypted data is necessary to open the session with command: OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY DLKey DECRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE DLCertificate

But i can't understand where i must place this command.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

little update.
After connect to db i go to Operation, create new DB inputs and open Advanced input type and in first line use this command:
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY DLKey DECRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE DLCertificate
