ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python "C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\amqp_ta\bin\amqp.py"" Error instantiating transport : null

Did anyone come across a similar issue like above with amqp plugin before? I pointed it to a queue in RabbitMQ and it consumed over 7000 messages in no time, but nothing is getting indexed in Splunk.. I have spent a few days on it already with no success. Please share your valuable suggestions.

Queue Name = xxxx

Broker Host = rabbitmq server ip

Broker Port = 5672

Broker Username = xx

Broker Password = xx

Exchange Name = xxxx.exchange

 ACk Messages = yes

Basic QOS Limit = 20

 Index Message Envelope = yes
 Index Message Propertys = yes

sourcetype = automatic
Host = 10.XXXx
Index = main

The issue is resolved now. Output type we declared was HEC and changing it to stdout fixed the issue.

Thanks
