Suppress SSL certificate warnings when ssl_verify=False is set?

[victorhooi]

I'm using influxdb-python with an InfluxDB instance with a self-signed SSL certificate.

I have ssl=True, and ssl_verify=False is on by default (although I have also tried explicitly setting it):

However, I am still seeing this when I attempt to write a point to InfluxDB:

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:768: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html

Since ssl_verify=False is being set, would it be possible to suppress these warnings please?

Whether ssl_verify=False should be on by default or not is a separate topic, I guess, but it seems like if it is set to False, then we should respect that, and not print out messages each and every time we make a request =).

Thoughts?

Also, I should add that trying to use:

import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings()

did not make a difference, I still saw the warning messages.

Hi there,

Can you try suppressing warnings like this:

import requests
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

Hi @georgijd,
your suggestion works, but I feel the same: if one explicitly set ssl_verify=False influxdb client should issue a warning and then urllib3 warnings should be disabled, otherwise you get one warning per DB request and there are tons of those.

We'll look into this, it's annoying I know!

[arslanqxgrid]

Thanks @georgijd worked for me 👍

@sebito91 Has there been any progress?

The behaviour of ssl_verify=False still results in the urllib3 errors being printed for each request. The workaround from @georgijd works, but it would be nice if the behaviour of influxdb-python with ssl_verify=False were fixed so this additional step was not necessary.

[sebito91]

Sorry, been afk for a time. Will look at this ASAP and get back to you.

Any updates regarding this issue?

[jelanij]

Are there any updates on this issue? The below code seems to have fixed the issue, but im wondering if you can create an update.

import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

@shoother813 yes, this works perfectly to suppress sslwarning

[Arvanaghi]

What's the best way to tell Flask/Influxdb-Python to trust the self-signed certificate that InfluxDB uses, rather than merely suppressing the warning?

[drrtuy]

@Arvanaghi I suppose using the same way as with other SSL/TLS clients, namely import a CA used to produce self-signed certificate.

I have a question how did you do that, just because I wish I could know how to force python to use https, just because I have different error:
influxdb.exceptions.InfluxDBClientError: 400: Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.
And I wish I could know where to look for the proper solution.,

These InsecureRequestWarning warning messages show up when a request is made to an HTTPS URL without certificate verification enabled.

[shahesam84]

both @georgijd solution and ssl_verify=False is needed to suppress the warnings.

Hi there,

Can you try suppressing warnings like this:

import requests
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings() 

works for me
