logstach http_poller ssl certification issue

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to use logstash http_poller to query a server RESTAPI. I download the server pem through explore, and generate jks file with keytool. but we still get error "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target". Don't know what wrong.

The config like below:

http_poller {
    urls => {  
      restapi => {
         method => get
        url => "https://path_to_resources
        headers => {
          Accept => "application/json"
        }
        truststore => "/path/generated.truststore.jks"
        truststore_password => "xxx"
        ssl_certificate_validation => false
        auth => {
          user => "xxx"
          password => "xxx"
        }
      }
    }
    request_timeout => 60
    interval => 60000
    codec => "json"
    metadata_target => "http_poller_metadata"
  }
}      

By the way, what impact if ssl_certificate_validation is set as false?
