Getting data from databases using DB Connect

Splunk DB Connect is a popular application developed by Splunk that allows you to easily get data into Splunk from many common databases. In this recipe, you will install DB Connect and configure it to connect to an external database's product inventory table. This product inventory table will be used in Chapter 7, Enriching Data – Lookups and Workflows.

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