Hi
I'm having the problem that I can not connect a mssql database with the splunk db connect app. If I want to connect the database via the GUI splunk gives me the following message each time:
Encountered the following error while trying to save: Splunkd daemon is not responding: ('The read operation timed out',)
There is no firewall between the db and the splunk server from which I would connect. I've tested this with telnet. I also fill in all required disclosures, such as the port (1436), the hostname (example.bla.ch), the database (someinstance/northwind), the user, the database-type (Microsoft SQL Server) and the password. The user can log directly into the db, this I've also tested. The user has read permissions.
In the dbx.log on the system I find no log entries which indicate an error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Yanick
