Website Monitoring Application Error

Hi,

I am adding URL to be monitored under Website Monitoring Application.

It works fine for sometime but later all of sudden it stops indexing logs for all the URL's and Splunk process stops.

I see Splunk PID increasing exponentially when this issue happens.If i grep splunk i see the below message

 /opt/app/splunk/splunk/bin/python2.7 /opt/app/splunk/splunk/bin/runScript.py execute.
 
see below errors in splunkd log
 
ERROR Unable to find the app configuration for the specified configuration stanza=proxy error="splunkd connection error", see url=http://lukemurphey.net/projects/splunk-website-monitoring/wiki/Troubleshooting
 
WARN HttpListener - Socket error from 127.0.0.1:60492 while accessing /servicesNS/nobody/website_monitoring/admin/website_monitoring/proxy: Broken pipe
 
P.S Earlier had placed website monitoring on Search Heads,since this issue was occuring we moved it to HF but still we see this issue.
 
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue.

This might not be a app/add-on error, but from Splunk itself.

Which version of Splunk Enterprise are you running?
Did you raise a support case?

we are facing lots of warnings on our SH Cluster after upgrading to Splunk v9.0.1
