Jeff, This issue was reported here <https://github.com/gocd/gocd/issues/2464> and has been fixed <https://github.com/gocd/gocd/pull/2558> for 16.10, due sometime this week.
For now, it's perfectly safe to ignore this exception in the agent logs — the agent is attempting to parse an empty JSON object for its certificates and failing on it, instead of gracefully handling an empty JSON response.
