Somehow the JSON data that is used by the modular input to preserve state (to remember when it last ran). I can make this call more resilient which should help it to recover more gracefully. However, this may be the result from other issues on the host (such as overloading).</P> <P>I'm am planning to fix this in version 1.1.3; I will be logging the work under <A href="http://lukemurphey.net/issues/1024">this issue report</A>.</P> <P>*<EM>Update: *</EM><BR /> I released <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1493/">version 1.1.2</A> which handles bad checkpoint data gracefully.</P> Tue, 07 Jul 2015 04:55:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Website-Monitoring-Errors/m-p/189223#M19233 LukeMurphey 2015-07-07T04:55:00Z
