Hi there

We have been facing some challenges with logstash shipper - which is basically showing the below error message millions of times. We do not see any logs processed. Certificates are not expired.

Can anyone please help!

> [2018-02-15T19:05:54,771][ERROR][org.logstash.beats.BeatsHandler] Exception: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: error:10000412:SSL routines:OPENSSL\_internal:SSLV3\_ALERT\_BAD\_CERTIFICATE

Below is our shipper input configuration -

> input {  
> beats {  
> port =\> 5044  
> ssl =\> true  
> ssl\_certificate =\> "${LS\_SETTINGS\_DIR:logstash-shipper-configuration}/certs/logstash-shipper.crt"  
> ssl\_key =\> "${LS\_SETTINGS\_DIR:logstash-shipper-configuration}/certs/logstash-shipper.key"  
> }  
> }

Below is our shipper output configuration -

> output {  
> redis {  
> port =\> 6379  
> host =\> REDACTED  
> password =\> REDACTED  
> timeout =\> 10  
> data\_type =\> "list"  
> batch =\> "true"  
> }  
> }

You are giving it a certificate in crt format. I think it wants pem.

Unfortunately it is pem file. Named different.

Any other reasons why we are seeing this error?
