Looking up inventory from an external database

In this recipe, you will leverage DB Connect to search an external database's product inventory table. You will then pull this data back into Splunk and turn it into a local lookup that harvests the data once per day. This product inventory table will be used in the next chapter.

DB Connect has a dedicated Splunk manual that can be found at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/latest/DeployDBX.
