Good afternoon,
I am trying to setup a pipeline using HTTP\_Poller, and would like to override the SSL requirement, but to no avail. I have tried several option found in forums, but still get the following error:
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
This is what my input looks like:
input {
http\_poller {
urls =\> {
test1 =\> {
method =\> get
url =\> "https://path\_to\_API"
ssl =\> true
ssl\_certificate\_validation =\> false
headers =\> {
API\_KEY =\> "value\_of\_api\_key"
}
}
}
request\_timeout =\> 60
schedule =\> { every =\> "10s"}
codec =\> "json"
}
}
I have played with the values for SSL and SSL\_Certificate\_Validation, but no luck.
Would anyone know if I can force (like I can in Curl) Http\_poller to not do SSL? Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
RS
