No Option to Configure OpenShift 4 Log Fowarding API to use External ElasticSearch with only HTTPS (excluding mutual TLS)

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • When configuring the Log Forwarding API, it's not possible to configure an external ElasticSearch server with HTTPS enabled but not mutual TLS.
  • The following error may appear when HTTPS is not enabled at all in Fluentd:
2020-08-10 19:41:18 +0000 [warn]: [retry_elasticsearch_sndr] Could not communicate to Elasticsearch, resetting connection and trying again. end of file reached (EOFError)
2020-08-10 19:41:18 +0000 [warn]: [retry_elasticsearch_sndr] Remaining retry: 14. Retry to communicate after 2 second(s).
