we did test the DB connection is fine , also most of the queries are giving results but older results like of nov 2019 not of feb 2020

check point value is blank

also |tstats count where index=mcafee by sourcetype when i search this using normal search no results

also using the DB connect app no results

what needs to be checked else to resolve this issue

how can i check if there is a table permission issue , user says queries used to run and fetch the data automatically

connection is mcafee_epo_5_db

table name is "eP04_VAVSRV01"alt text

Are you searching within the context of the dbconnect app, or from the more general search app context? Context makes a big difference when it comes to sourcetypes. If the latter, you'll have to update props.conf in the search app dir to include the sourcetype you're referencing.

e.g.
https://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8000/en-US/app/splunk_app_db_connect/search?q=search

vs
https://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8000/en-US/app/search/search?q=search?q=search

One easy method to verify sourcetypes within a index is to use the following:

|tstats count where index=mcafee by sourcetype

Have you tested your query in DB Connect to make sure it is correct?
If it doesn't return any results then you either have an issue with the query, permissions to the table, or the connection to the db.

Well I would start by running a search index=_internal host=whateverhostrunsdbconnect log_level IN (WARN,ERROR)

I would recommend you start by looking through your _internal logs for the host you have running DBConnect. Look for any specific errors related to your query or even the credentials you might be using to connect.

Check "Checkpoint Value" under DB Inputs & lower the value. I then started getting data.
