Hi, 

I want to onboard unique data from sql server to splunk, i have db connect app and i configured everything. 

We have more than 4 lak events in database and it is dynamic, We have three fields equipment number, contact number, and Company code. Equipment number will be added/updated to database once in a week.
How can I onboard unique equipment number every time?

To onboard data uniquely, the database must have a column that uniquely identifies each row.  That can be an ever-increasing "update number" or perhaps an update timestamp.  DB Connect would fetch from the database in order of the unique column where the value is greater than the most recent value onboarded.
