Hi @smart_admin1

it looks like you're using a self-signed certificate for your APM Server. By default, the agent verifies certificates, which fails for self-signed ones. We recommend to use a valid certificate that can be verified, but if you want to continue using the self-signed certificate, you can disable verification using the [`verify_server_cert`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/python/current/configuration.html#config-verify-server-cert) configuration option.
