OpenSSL support? about influxdb-slurm-monitoring

[AyeYessir]

Could be as easy as adding: "curl_easy_setopt(curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);"

Hi @AdamCarlson84 , this would need to be requested to SchedMD as they are the ones supporting this plugin now, and I'm not sure if this repo is up to date with the version shipped with Slurm. As the change is relatively simple you can just send them the patch.
What is exactly failing for you? Are you using self-signed certificates for your InfluxDB server?

[AyeYessir]

Hey! Yep, the code is different now. I found it and already made a pull request for them through there. Yes, it is a self signed cert. If I recall correctly, every attempt to send data was resulting in a TLS negotiation failure; so the data was getting to the host and then being rejected.

@AdamCarlson84 , I'm not sure if disabling the SSL verification by hardcoding it into the code is the right approach. Couldn't you get a properly signed certificate or add your CA to your Influx clients? (Let's encrypt may be a good option)

[AyeYessir]

Hmmmm, well my exact error is "TLS handshake error from IP:PORT: remote error: tls: unknown certificate".... we are working on getting away from self signed certs, but aren't there yet. And I need stats! Perhaps an option to disable in the config is better than just a blanket check?
