thehive4py.exceptions.AlertException: Alert create error: ('Connection aborted.', error(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))

Possible Solutions

The solution for now i use is:

def createAlert(self, alert):
    alertId = None
    try:
        response = self.api.create_alert(alert)
        if response.status_code == 201:
            alertId = response.json()['id']
            logging.info('Alert created: ' + alertId)
        else:
            logging.error('Alert creation failed.')
    except:
        logging.error('Alert creation failed. Will make 3 retries.')
        fail = True
        tries = 0
        while fail and tries != 3:
            response = self.api.create_alert(alert)
            if response.status_code == 201:
                fail = False
                alertId = response.json()['id']
                logging.info('Alert created: ' + alertId)
            else:
                tries += 1
                logging.error('Alert creation failed. Try #: '+str(tries))
    return alertId

And it creates alert with the first try on exception.
