Can I disable Splunk DB Connect print_record_failed java.lang.NullPointerException"?

I use the Splunk DB Connect add-on to collect MS SQL DB audit logs. Recently, I updated the query so we don't collect some logs that are not needed. The collection runs every 5 minutes, because of the new query there are quite a few times where the result is 0 logs (this is expected). The problem is that I started receiving the following error all the time:

 

ERROR ResultSetIterator:157 - action=print_record_failed row=null error="java.lang.NullPointerException"

 

 

How can I disable this "error"? It's flooding my _internal index and consuming storage for nothing.
