How do I solve adding data inputs into DB Connect?

I have successfully made an identity and connection. And have successfully validated that I am able to connect. ATM I am now attempting to add in a data input, however when I execute the query in Advanced mode, the "continue" button continues to be grayed out. In addition when I attempt to execute the query in simple mode the table drop down menu is populated with the tables within my DB, but can still not execute the query. My question then becomes what have I done wrong, or what am I missing in order to make this work? I have made this in a docker located at nvisibl3/splunk-java.

Once the connectivity is succeeded there should not be any issues. Since you are facing the issue while advance mode, I guess you may not used the data base name. as a best practice try with the below sample,

select * from schema.database.table/view; 

Check with the below link,

Hope this will helps you

Sure. I am trying to grab the IP and hostname information from a JSS database. The query I am attempting to run is '''SELECT computer_name, last_ip, last_reported_ip FROM computers;'''

What troubleshooting have you performed? Do any meaningful diagnostics appear in the logs mentioned in the troubleshooting guide? If not, I'd also change the logging level as described in the documentation and re-examine the logs.
