Hi Bentash,

If I recall it correct this (using an unverified SSL connection) was done to prevent data collection issues in case of any SSL certs issues in o365/Azure. It tells you that the SSL certificate is not validated.

Long story short, this is not really an error more a warning and should be reported as such like the actual python error tells you it is just a warning : InsecureRequestWarning

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS

I'm no sure that I'd call this something to ignore. Don't we want to use validated SSL certificates?

Well, it come all down to two options:

  1. accept the fact that you will loss events if you enable the SSL verification and something happens in Azure which invalidates the certificate
  2. accept the less secure connection when not verifying the certificate but continue to get events even something happens in Azure which invalidates the certificate

Agreed. I think the secure connection is important.

In this case the error message actually tells you what to do 😉
