This is a benign error. SA-ITOA doesn't expect empty data to come from SAI and thus throws an unnecessary error instead of exiting gracefully. 

This issue was fixed in 4.3.0. If you don't want to upgrade, a workaround is to disable the modular input 'Splunk App for Infrastructure - Entity Migration.'
