Splunk DB Connect: How to troubleshoot error "Splunkd daemon is not responding"?

[varunnair26]

Hi,

I am trying to integrate my DB server (External Database) with Splunk, but I'm receiving the following error. Kindly let me know if one of you have faced this kind of issue:

"Splunkd daemon is not responding: ('Error connecting to /servicesNS/admin/dbx/dbx/databases: The read operation timed out',) "

Thanks

have you install appropriate jdbc ? if not install and configure it. look in doc splunkdb connect 1.x

I have been looking into it, but didn't find any solution. Which appropriate JDBC you are referring to, can share some links regarding it ?

Hi @varunnair26

I think @tachifelix is referring to this page:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.1.7/DeployDBX/Installdrivers

Did you download and install the appropriate driver according to your particular external database?

Hi @ppablo_splunk , I have checked the link. The drivers are for MySQL, Oracle, DB2 and Informix. My database is Microsoft SQL server. Is that require any driver ? If yes, which one should I download ? Please suggest.
