Hi Team,

We are using httpevent collector to extract the data from boomerang.js.
In recent days, we are receiving "Parser Error(per-token parser errors due to incorrectly formatted event data)" in HttpEventCollector because of which we are facing raid decrease in transaction count.

Please find the data which we found in _introspection index below.

Kindly help me to resolve this parser error.
