Resolving Error when using VirusTotal TA?

I have installed and setup the VirusTotal TA with basic configuration i.e. API key and Max Batch Size just to test things.

However when I try to run the following command

 

index=advanced_hunting category="AdvancedHunting-UrlClickEvents" properties.UrlChain=*
| virustotal domain=properties.UrlChain

 

I get the following error

 

Error in 'virustotal' command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 1.

Streamed search execute failed because: Error in 'virustotal' command: External search command exited unexpectedly with non-zero error code 1.

 

I'm scrolling through Google but nothing is helping at the moment.

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue

Issue has been resolved after we provide admin permission to all the respective knowledge objects of this addon , like saved searches , lookups . I do not see this error any more
