Hello all,

I am trying to create reports with kibana on docker but I am getting this error,

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

How do I go about fixing this...THANK YOU

It looks like an error message where something is not able to read a certificate file. Does that ring any bells?
