I've recently migrated to a new server with Splunk 7.2.1 + DB Connect 3.1.1 which intermittently shows an issue as below;
Some dashboard running many panels of dbxquery getting these errors;

2 errors occurred while the search was executing. Therefore, search results might be incomplete. Hide errors.
[subsearch]: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: Connection reset by peer, Authentication lapse 88400 ms.
java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: Connection reset by peer, Authentication lapse 140354 ms.

I had never had this kind of error before the migration to this new server.
It's not happening always but very frequently. Please help.

Based on the symptoms of "happening intermittently". It appears to be a known issue around "/dev/random" and "/dev/urandom".
Tried as suggested below and worked around it. ;

1. Open the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security file in a text editor.
2. Change the line:
  securerandom.source=file:/dev/random
  to read:
  securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom
3. Save your change and exit the text editor.
