Using Splunk DB Connect version 3.0.1, specific key fields and values are added to a locally defined db_inputs.conf file whenever a defined Data Lab "Input" is Enabled or Disabled (from the DB Connect GUI). There is both an "is_template" and "use_json_output" key/value pair that is added to the stanza for the specific "Input" in the db_inputs.conf file. A subsequent restart of Splunk outputs the following errors:
Invalid key in stanza "[Data Lab Input Name]" in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/db_inputs.conf, line xx: is_template (value: 0).
Invalid key in stanza "[Data Lab Input Name]" in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/db_inputs.conf, line xx: use_json_output (value: 0).
Is this a bug (i.e. why does the enable/disable action cause invalid key values to be created in db_inputs.conf)?
