Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster.
Using Elastic Stack 7.4.
I have spent the better part of the past 2 weeks setting up Heartbeats to monitor all of my internal systems and services. It was a ton of work but I finally got it working - almost.
I have 3 systems that insist on using https to connect, but I have not installed CA-signed certificates for those systems. When Heartbeat tries to connect to those systems I get the following error messages in the index document:
error.message Get https://xxx.mydomain.com: x509: certificate is valid for localhost.mydomain.com, not xxx.mydomain.com
or
error.message Get https://yyy.mydomain.com: x509: certificate is not valid for any names, but wanted to match yyy.mydomain.com
Different systems give different error messages, but they all seem to point to the fact that I don't have a formally signed cert on these systems. Not surprising (I know, that's how it works), but I don't want to go through the effort of installing (& maintaining) certs for a handful of internal systems. So I tried to get around this by disabling ssl verification in my YAML file:
- type: http
name: http_xxx
enabled: true
schedule: '@every 5s'
urls: ["https://xxx.mydomain.com"]
ipv4: true
ipv6: false
mode: any
timeout: 16s
ssl:
ssl.enabled: true
ssl.verification_mode: none
I've tried multiple variations of SSL options but none of them seem to work. I still get the connection error messages in Heartbeat and those systems continually show as "down."
I'm hoping someone here can show me what I am doing wrong, or a workaround to enable Heartbeat to connect to these systems.
Thanks in advance.
