Connecting to %s using SSL with verify_certs=False is insecure

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
2

Update:

I also tried this:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch([HOST], 
	http_auth = (str(USERNAME), str(PASSWORD)),
	scheme = "https", port=443, use_ssl=True,
	verify_certs=True, 		# no verify SSL certificates
	ssl_show_warn=False) 	# don't show warnings about ssl certs verification

It didn't return me any warning, but then when I try to perform a search I get this problem:

query = '{"query": {"bool": {"must": [{"match": {"message": "exception"}}, {"match": {"cloudwatch_logs.log_group": "/aws/lambda/*"}}], "filter": {"range": {"@timestamp": {"from": "now-6h/h", "to": "now"}}}}}}'
index = 'cloudwatch-prod-2019-11'
es.search(index = index, body = query, size = 10000)

Error:

GET <my_url>/cloudwatch-prod-2019-11/_search?size=100 [status:N/A request:0.110s]
