Splunk Database Connect (DBX) Installation Guide For Ubuntu and Centos

Introduction & Scope

This guide is meant to be a set of step by step instructions for installing Splunk Database Connect 3.3.1 (henceforth referred to as DBX) on a stock install of Splunk 7.3.x and 8.0.x. OpenJDK 8 on Ubuntu 16.04 and Centos 7, and OpenJDK 11 on Ubuntu 20.04 and Centos 8. This does not cover OS or Splunk initial installation and configuration, and only covers Microsoft SQL Server's JDBC driver v8.2.x. This guide also assumes some familiarity with Splunk, and whichever OS you choose.
