Tracking cert expiration

Votes:

1

Can the SSL sensor (https://www.paessler.com/blog/2015/01/13/sensors-of-the-week/prtg-ssl-security-check-sensor) or another track certificate expiration dates? Receiving warning alerts for pending expirations (in x number of days) and expired certs would be very beneficial.

Thank you.

Hello silavric,
thank you for your KB-Post.

Please have a look at the following:

You're going to need one SSL Certificate sensor per certificate with this approach, unless there is a device-specific approach that can be used to collect these statistics directly from the Fortigate equipment that can be implemented with custom sensors.

Best Regards,

You can use the HTTP SSL Certificate Expiry Sensor for that.

OK some how I missed that one. How about checking certs like the ones used for LDAPs (Windows and Linux) and Java keystore?

For certificates that are installed in the Certificate Store on your Windows machine, please have a look a the WinCertExpiration sensor.

I have a network device (Fortiweb) that has about 100 certificates installed on it. Is there a sensor I can use in order to keep track of expiry dates? If yes, can you please give an example on how to configure the sensor?
