Hello @Cristina_Marletta_Li

As per the post :

> [@Watcher Http Input - PKIX path building failed](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/watcher-http-input-pkix-path-building-failed/348279/7):
>
> Hi @Rossana so yes as @yago82 Said, please look at these settings. You will need to set these in your elasticsearch.yml This is not as secure... xpack.http.ssl.verification\_mode: none or set the path to the CA... xpack.http.ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/path/to/http\_ca.crt"]

In the elasticsearch.yml we need to add below entry :

```auto
If it is for testing environment can use below (not secure):
xpack.http.ssl.verification_mode: none

For Prod need to use below :
xpack.http.ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/path/to/http_ca.crt"]

```
