I configured Splunk's latest Box TA and I am receiving "Connection reset by peer" any suggestions on what the issue could be? Following is a snippet from splunkd.log

 

09-29-2021 18:56:48.754 -0400 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "/opt/splunk/splunk/bin/python3.7 /opt/splunk/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_box/bin/box_service.py" WARNING:boxsdk.network.default_network:Request "GET https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_type=admin_logs&limit=500&stream_position=0&created_after=2021..." failed with ConnectionError exception: ConnectionError(ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')))

 

My box.conf for the TA is as follows

Did you find a resolution to this issue? I am having the same issue after upgrading from 3.2.0 to 3.3.2.
Thanks

No I have not figured out a solution. I have narrowed down the issue to when routing API calls via a proxy. It works fine in a non-proxy environment. I first thought the issue is around certificates etc and imported them also with no luck
