CTrue

DFalse

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string instead of a boolean.

Disabling SSL verification by setting it to False.

Setting verify_certs=True enables SSL certificate verification.

Fix the error in the code to correctly pass the API key for authentication.

Elasticsearch

client = Elasticsearch(api_key=[1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ab64encode('api_key')

B'my_api_key'

C('id', 'api_key')

D('id', 'api_key'.encode())

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the API key as a plain string.

Not encoding the API key to bytes.

The api_key parameter expects a tuple of (id, api_key) where the api_key is bytes, so encoding is needed.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary with username and password for HTTP basic authentication.

Elasticsearch

auth = {'username': [1], 'password': [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'elastic'

B'mypassword'

C'admin'

D'secret'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping username and password values.

Using incorrect strings for username or password.

The dictionary keys username and password must be assigned the correct string values for authentication.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a secure Elasticsearch client with username, password, and SSL verification enabled.

Elasticsearch

client = Elasticsearch(http_auth=([1], [2]), verify_certs=[3])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'elastic'

B'mypassword'

CTrue

DFalse

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Disabling SSL verification by setting it to False.

Using incorrect username or password strings.

The http_auth tuple requires username and password strings, and verify_certs should be True to enable SSL verification.
