I have data going into Elastalert and I am getting email alerts. I am also trying to post to an https page and I keep getting this error `ERROR:root:Error while running alert http_post: Error posting HTTP Post alert: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='notify.ltnglobal.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",),))`

No matter where I put the certificates. My rule looks like this:

> name: snmp data ingest pipeline down  
> type: flatline  
> index: snmplogger-\*  
> ca\_certs: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.pem  
> threshold: 500000

The email part works but the post part does not.

Any ideas?

As this is a not elastalert supported forum, but rather about Elasticsearch, you are probably find more people willing to help you out if you ask on more elastalert specific forums/github repos/whatever other means of support they might have.

Hope this helps!
