Certificate Transparency Errors

[liquidclay23]

Hello All,

I have completed two separate installs of this app on different servers and then upgraded from Splunk 6 to 7. Both times I am getting the expected CT logs but I am also seeing a lot of internal errors. I see the exact same errors on both servers:

Are other people also seeing this, is this keeping me from collecting all the data I should be seeing? Thanks,

I am just showing the message field to fit on the screen. All evens are coming in as component=ExecProcessor and log_level=ERROR

Can you try if version 1.3.0 (on Github only) fixes this for you?
If so, I'll publish it on Splunkbase

Thank you for your response jorritf. I uploaded the version of the app in GIT and immediately saw a significant improvement. Prior I was seeing about 684 errors a day. I am only seeing 18 errors since I upgraded yesterday.
