HI, I'm a newbie to splunk, and I'm trying to install the db connect app, but i'm just going through tthe requirements and it says i need the JRE. But should I install the Server JRE or just the JRE listed on oracle?

Here's the doc i'm going off of.

thanks!

You need JAVA SE. Need to setup JAVA_HOME variable properly. Then the JVM param should come automatically when you configure the DB app. Give the JRE path of the installation for the JAVA HOME option.

I suggest the "Server JRE" to be sure, but I expect the plain JRE would also work.
