Getting authentication error when adding new input for Splunk Add-on for Google Cloud Platform: SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED.

[season88481]

Hi guys,

We want to onboard some data from the Cloud Storage Bucket of our GCP platform.
When adding a new input, we have this error:

Unexpected error "" from python handler: "(SSLError(1, u'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:741)'),)". See splunkd.log for more details.

I searched Splunkd log, and we have these error messages:

SSLError: (SSLError(1, u'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:741)'),)

And this:

So is there a way to add our own CA cert to avoid the SSL error, or is there a way to turn-off SSL verification?

Many thanks,
