Hi Team,

I have installed logstash7.3.0 in the Linux server. I have created a configuration which will connect to the JIRA rest API using http\_poller plugin. Since our JIRA is self signed, and for testing purpose we are trying to fetch the data from JIRA using logstash. But it throws below error

> PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

The Logstash-jira.conf file contains

> input {  
> http\_poller {  
> urls =\> {  
> test2 =\> {  
> method =\> get  
> url =\> "[https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443/rest/api/2/search?jql=project="Test"](https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8443/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=%22Test%22)"  
> headers =\> {  
> Accept =\> "application/json"  
> }  
> ssl\_certificate\_validation =\> false  
> ssl\_verify =\> false  
> }  
> }  
> request\_timeout =\> 20  
> schedule =\> { every =\>"20s"}  
> codec =\> "json"  
> #proxy =\> {host=\> "xx.xx.xx.xx" port=\>"8080"}

Is there any way to ignore the SSL verification in http\_poller plugin.

No, there is no way to encourage man-in-the-middle attacks for this input.

Hi Team,  
How to handle this error message in logstash. Is there any other plugin in logstash which will skip the SSL verification
