Cannot figure out the cause of this error:

I believe there is something wrong with configuration since log states: " key can't be empty". But what key it refers to?

I am using AppD trial with SaaS model where configuration is baked into downloaded zip.

Could you post the full agent logs?

It may be easier to handle this through a support ticket.
