Getting Data In

DBConnect - tail_rising_column_init_ckpt_value

Hello,

After configure DBConnect to get data from a SQL database, I found the following error after restart the splunk service:

 

Invalid key in stanza [nameOfMyQuery]  in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/db_inputs.conf, line XX:  tail_rising_column_init_ckpt_value (value:{"value":"0","columnType":4})

Checking the documentation https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/3.5.1/DeployDBX/dbinputs it seems like is not a deprecated parameter...

Removing this line from the config file, the data input works properly but I don't know if could I get repeated inputs or any similar error.

How could I solve the problem?

Thanks

Thanks
