How to configure Db connect to read new events only?

I'm having an issue where db connect is reading the whole database every hour and also logging duplicate events instead of reading new events. So yes I have up to 10-20 of the same event logging into Splunk. Would adjusting the execution frequency solved this issue?

@BcWilliams Check the Input type of the DB input as described in Create and manage database inputs - Splunk Documentation

You have to choose Rising mode and then set the Rising column.

If you need further support just let me know.
