Hi,

I am keep getting the below error that failed to execute the update documents in Watcher after we upgraded to Kibana v7.3. , we have valid certificate but Kibana does not seem to agree, how can I check and any advice that might resolve the problem? Thank you!

        }
      ],
      "type": "s_s_l_handshake_exception",
      "reason": "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target",
