DBConnect was working fine, and it stopped working after it crashed once. Getting RPC server not running message. Appreciate any help or pointers on this.

I have tried restarting server, killing java processes with no luck.

It happened to be an issue with /etc/hosts file. some one deleted localhost entry and Splunk healthcheck was failing.
What I noticed in the code is that its not consistent that in some places localhost is used and some places 127.0.0.1 is used.
