Getting Data In

Data is not being imported into the assigned index after migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL.

Until now I was importing data to Splunk from Oracle. I have migrated from Oracle to Postgresql so I will no longer use Oracle and now need to import the data from Postgresql.

I have configured the JDBC driver, set the connection settings and credentials, and from Splunk DB connect I have created a new input.

When I click "Execute query" the data is displayed correctly, so the connection to PostgreSQL should be correct. The problem is when I finish creating the input, I schedule it and assign it an index to which it should dump the data. There is no error (or at least I can't find it) in the input health/input performance section, the data is simply not imported into the assigned index.

What could I do to solve this? I need to be able to import data from PostgreSQL.

Hi

can you give the basic information of your environment?

Like all OSs, Splunk , dbx version, standalone / distributed environment, Java, driver, postgresql etc. versions.

Also inputs.conf etc. is good starting point for Community to help you.

Hi

that inputs.conf seems to be from your system/default not from DBX. Then DB Connections inputs.conf is normally on $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/inputs.conf.

What you have on those splunk_app_db_connect*.log files? There should be entries if/when your DBX Inputs is active and those are polled.

Oh, I'm sorry!
Here is the correct data:
