Hi,

It could be because of the corruption in state.xml config file,

To resolve this issue, remove $SPLUNK_DB/persistentstorage/dbx/global, recursively.

Check this Link for more info

Cheers!

I have the same issue with DBX, but this did not solve the issue.

I am not sure how can i help you. But what i did was, I uninstalled DBX, reinstalled it and then deleted those files recursively.
