Data stopped coming into Splunk for Splunk add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services,

mlevsh
Builder

We are running Splunk Enterprise 7.0.1
On our Splunk Heavy forwarder we installed and configured "Splunk add-on for Microsoft Cloudservices "(current version 2.0.3)
We stopped receiving any data in Splunk for that add-on as of yesterday evening.
Troubleshooting page for that add-on looks ok. It shows "Certificate Status: Auto-generated and verified as valid"
There are few errors: & warnings in Splunk internal index (sample errors to follow).

Any advices on how to approach this issue and possibly fix it will be appreciated.
Here are patterns of errors and warnings :

1) ...File "/export/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 653, in read v = self._sslobj.read(len) SSLError: ('The read operation timed out',)
source =    $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunk_ta_microsoft-cloudservices_management.log

2) File "/export/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_microsoft-cloudservices/bin/splunktamscs/httplib2/__init__.py", line 1059, in connect raise SSLHandshakeError(e) SSLHandshakeError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:676)

Version 2.1.0 of the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services fixes the following issues:

also noticing that data stops coming in when the access_token have expired. typically these has a lifetime of 60 minutes. The only way for data to resume is for a restart of the heavy forwarder.

There may be an issue with refreshing the tokens. It does not appear that this is happening successfully or properly.

Another observation is when the heavy forwarder has been turned off overnight as an AWS test instance, the morning start does not resume the data feed. a restart is required to resume the feed.

do i need to log a support ticket to this question?

thanks
