HTTPs "strict: false" is not working

[andelhie]

I am trying to monitor the API endpoint of a Kubernetes cluster. The endpoint is using a self signed cert so I set the strict: false but I am getting a error.

Get https://10.40.154.224:6443/healthz: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Here is what i have in the monitor config section.

  - name: k8-istio2
    target: https://10.40.154.224:6443/healthz
    strict: false
    method: GET
    component_id: 4
    #metric_id: 4

    template:
      investigating:
        subject: "{{ .Monitor.Name }} - {{ .SystemName }}"
        message: "{{ .Monitor.Name }} check **failed** (server time: {{ .now }})\n\n{{ .FailReason }}"
      fixed:
        subject: "I HAVE BEEN FIXED"

    interval: 1
    timeout: 1
    threshold: 80
    expected_status_code: 200

I would hope marking it false would ignore the x509 error.
