Thank you for that heads up. This morning I discovered our ES was lacking the right cert in sslConfig so the splunk-generated cert expired and resulted in https://splunk.my.site.com/customer/s/article/Expired-SSL-certificate-KV-Store-will-not-start-exit-code-14-and-fatal-assertion-28652 The same fix (adding a serverCert to system/local/server.conf for a PEM containing the Server Cert + Encrypted Private Key) also fixed the KV Store on the HF where DB Connect was installed. Looks like I'll be verifying sslConfig everywhere in case of other stealthy dependencies on KV Store.
