"stats: Error: conn stats-reader (127.0.0.1:56470): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line: EXPORT        global"

Sounds like something about netdata, but not clear idea of the RCA.

Anyone who can provide an idea to about this issue?

Thanks in advance,

It's caused by netdata. it tries to find all supported services, but it considers this port as another service. It's safe to ignore this log.
