Is there a way to enable SSL cert validation for httpout?

Hi folks,

is there a way to enable SSL cert validation to a 'httpout' stanza within 'outputs.conf' like we can do with 'sslVerifyServerCert', etc. for 'tcpout' stanzas?

I wasn't able to find a solution for this. The UF doesn't seem to verify the CA provided in 'server.conf/sslConfig/caCertFile' as well.

Thanks for your help!

There does not appear to be a way to enable SSL certificate validation @mkorn. One workaround I recommend is to use a proxy server that validates certificates and forwards traffic to the target endpoint.

Thanks for the hint. This might do it for some environments, but I just can't get why SSL validation is not available for this output.

It's http traffic, otel hec output does it, fluentd hec output does it, but UF doesn't support it?
