We have been running Splunk DB Connect for some time now without issues. When I tried to upgrade v2.1.3 to 2.2 on a Heavy Forwarder server, it stopped working. When I looked at the logs it mentions the following:
[INFO] [mi_base.py], line 187: action=caught_exception_in_modular_input_with_retries modular_input=mi_input://xxx_xxxxxxxxxx_xx retrying="1 of 6" error=HTTP 402 Payment Required --
In handler 'shclusterconfig': Requires license feature='DistSearch'
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
HTTPError: HTTP 402 Payment Required --
In handler 'shclusterconfig': Requires license feature='DistSearch'
We do have an Enterprise license, but this machine is in a part or the network that does not have direct access to the License Master. I do not run clustering on this heavy forwarder, so I am not sure why this check is in here. I always thought the DB Connect app would run fine without direct access to an Enterprise License Master. All my heavy forwarders use the "Forwarder license group". Have the requirements for this version of DB Connect been changed?
Kind regards
Matthijs
