vCenter certificate issue despite tls_verify_skip : yes

Help
1

Hi,
I am trying to pull data into the cloud through a connected ubuntu agent with the GO vSphere collector plugin. When i troubleshoot the vcenter plugin, i see that it fails on the certificate. This is a test setup which uses the default certificate from VMware. I searched the forum, and found that adding tls_skip_verify should do the trick, but for some reason it’s still failing. Anyone have an idea what i’m doing wrong?
Thanks.

  • name: redacted
    url: https://redacted
    username: administrator@vsphere.local
    password: xxxxxxx
    host_include: [‘/‘]
    vm_include: [’/    ’]
    tls_skip_verify: yes
