We are using python 3
May I know how to get rid of this error in internal logs?

@VijaySrrie - two questions?

Is it causing any problems in the Splunk environment currently??
Which script / Add-on / App is generating this error??

This is an error resulting from the python code trying to do somethin it's not supposed to. In this case - it's trying to serialize to json an object which is not serializable (not all classes can be serialized).

Why it happens? We don't know - you should look in your logs for indication where this exception is triggered.

Hi @VatsalJagani
1. Checkpoint file is not getting update
2. It happens only in DC1
3. modinput_tyk_analytics_mongodb is the app having the python script

4. Whenever we see error in splunk internal logs, duplicate logs are seen

@VijaySrrie - I cannot tell by the name of the App who is the creator of the App, but you need to reach out to developer of that App and raise support case there.

@VatsalJagani
1. Duplicate logs are ingested into splunk, we tried to change the checkpoint file value, even after that at 2 am duplicated are ingested
2. We are using python script to ingest TYK mongoDB logs into splunk
