Hello,

I create an input that queries a APi end point. The URL requires SSL. I downloaded the .jks file for the domain and included it in the input section as follows:

input {  
http\_poller {  
urls =\> {  
test1 =\> {  
method =\> get  
url =\> "https://PATH\_TO\_API"  
headers =\> {  
API\_KEY =\> ""  
}  
}

test1 =\> {  
url =\> "https:/URL"  
truststore =\> "/PATH/NAME.jks"  
truststore\_password =\> "PASSWORD"  
}  
}  
request\_timeout =\> 60  
schedule =\> { every =\> "10s"}  
codec =\> "json"

}  
}

I have also verified the password. However, I keep getting the following error:

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

Would anyone have suggestions as to what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks!
