Added a stack trace output to the RssAgentLogger class to find the cause of unexpected exceptions parsing Metacentric service logs to update the Feed reader reference. The trace revealed a NoSuchElementException on the StringTokenizer nextToken method used to extract the log field data. Eventually isolated the case where the user agent entry is the empty string. Manually deleted the problem lines as a short term fix.
