Hi @Rossana so yes as @yago82 Said, please look at these settings.

You will need to set these in your elasticsearch.yml

> **[Watcher settings in Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/notification-settings.html#ssl-notification-settings)**

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"]`
