For helpful troubleshooting tips that you can apply to all add-ons, see Troubleshooting in Splunk Add-ons. For additional resources, see Support and resource links for add-ons in Splunk Add-ons.

To check for DB Connect errors, you can perform this search of the DB Connect internal logs:

DB Connect does not collect data

If DB Connect doesn’t collect anything, make sure that you installed Splunk DB Connect, configured its java path, and installed the MySQL JDBC before doing the setup for the Splunk Add-on for MySQL.
