Splunk DB Connect - MS SQL Server - Cannot get schemas

Hi folks,

I'm currently attempting to set up and configure Splunk DB Connect. So far, I've gone through the installation steps, and everything looks to be configured properly.

My connection and identity are setup. When I go to the Data Lab -> Explore Data tab, I am able to pick my connection, see my list of databases, and select a database. However, when it attempts to populate the Schemas, it gives an error saying "Cannot get schemas".

I've tried both the 4.2 driver recommended in the documentation as well as the latest driver published by MS (6.4).

My database is an Azure SQL Database.

I have tried multiple users, including the database admin user.

I have also attempted to run a query using the table with a fully qualified schema name, and that comes back with "Invalid Object Name".

Has anyone else run into this, or have any thoughts at to what the issue might be?

See:

"In DB, there are schemas available and each schema has different tables. So in the DB you need to provide schema access & table access to user from which splunk is trying to fetch data."
