Unable to push logs to https elasticsearch from aspnet core

[skamble89]

I am unable to push logs to elasticsearch over ssl

ASP.NET Core version: 2.1
log4stash package version: 3.0.0

Elasticsearch certificate is not a self signed certificate so I have not added the SelfSignedCertificate flag in configuration. Also since it is a dev setup, the server certificate as well as the CA certificate were generated manually

<appender name="ElasticSearchAppender" type="log4stash.ElasticSearchAppender, log4stash"> <Server>%ES_HOST%</Server> <Port>%ES_PORT%</Port> <IndexName>index-%{+yyyy-MM-dd}</IndexName> <Ssl>True</Ssl> <AuthenticationMethod> <Basic> <Username>[username]</Username> <Password>[password]</Password> </Basic> </AuthenticationMethod> </appender>

I am not sure what additional information I could provide. Would really appreciate if you could help me with this.

Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi @adamcti

We just used the http endpoint and moved on.

However, having a look at the code of log4stash, I believe creating a certificate which matches the conditions inside this function should work.

Do let me know if you are able to get your problem resolved.

Note: I haven't tried the approach

So I was able to use the HTTP method to send a log message over c# like so but im not sure what you mean by create a certificate for log4stash

// Ignore SSL certificate errors (not recommended for production) var handler = new HttpClientHandler(); handler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = (HttpRequestMessage, X509Certificate2, X509Chain, SslPolicyErrors) => true; var client = new HttpClient(handler);
