Servicenow CMDB upgrade from Microsoft SQL 2012 to 2016

Currently we are using MS SQL 2012 in our environment and DB Connect is being used to pull the data from the Servicenow CMDB.

Servicenow team is upgrading the SQL server from 2012 to 2016.

Do I have to do anything special to get the logs in to the Splunk or will it work after the upgrade?

Also, We are not using the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft SQL Server and Service Now Add-on. Just using DB Connect to pull the data.

I wouldn't expect there to be any changes for you to make.
I have DB connect running with multiple versions of MSSQL without any issues, and that includes some boxes which have been upgraded like your scenario.

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
