Using Java Class HttpEventCollectorLoggingHandler, with properties file, implementing the HttpEventCollectorErrorHandler.

The Reply; Error Code and Error text from HttpEventCollectorErrorHandler is:

ErrorCode: -1
ErrorText: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 9 path $
Failed write of Log Event: Failed to connect to hecdevsplunk.company.com/11.54.0.234:8088

Any assistance would be appreciated, Thanks Steve.

Hi,

I have the same error.:

om.splunk.logging.HttpEventCollectorErrorHandler$ServerErrorException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 7 path $

Something new about it?

It seems in case of error by send event that HttpEventCollectorSender will instantiate a ServerErrorException:

 HttpEventCollectorErrorHandler.error(events, new ServerErrorException(ex.getMessage()));

And ServerErrorException try to parse the message as JSON (!):

        public ServerErrorException(String serverReply) {
            this.reply = serverReply;

            try {
                JsonObject json = JsonParser.parseString(serverReply).getAsJsonObject();
                this.errorCode = json.get("code").getAsLong();
                this.errorText = json.get("text").getAsString();
            } catch (Exception var3) {
                this.errorText = var3.getMessage();
            }

        }

So this error is not the original error.
