Splunk Enterprise

Getting error "Driver version is invalid" for a MySQL connection even if driver is installed?

Hi All,

 

I am trying our Splunk Enterprise server for MySQL database monitoring. I am using a trial version of Splunk.

I have installed the Splunk DB Connect application and have installed the MySQL driver mysql-connector-j-8.0.31.jar. I am able to see that the driver is installed. And I have configured a MySQL DB connection.

But when I execute Health Check from the monitoring console for the Splunk DB Connect app, I am getting the error " One or more defined connections require the corresponding JDBC driver."

"Driver version is invalid, connection: MySQLDB, connection_type: mysql."

MySQL DB version is 8.0.23 and it's an AWS Aurora RDS instance. I did try "Splunk DBX Add-on for MySQL JDBC" to install the driver before and I had the same issue. I saw that the driver that came with this app was of a lower version than what we use in our application to connect to the database, so installed the new driver directly.

Also while trying to execute a query I am getting the error "Error in 'dbxquery' command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 1."

Please help to resolve this error.

Thanks

Arun
