SSL Certificate check

Votes:

0

Hi, I created a parent object with field "dns name" = complete url, that should be checked. Under the parent object I created a sensor "ssl certificate". I would like to check, if the fingerprint of the certificate is the right one. But I get the error message "Failed to establish secure connection [Step 0] Socket Error # 11001 Host not found. [Step 1] Socket Error # 11001 Host not found. [Step 2]..." But the url in a browser opened on the prtg node works fine. What is the real error behind this misleading error message? Regards Michael

where you say

"dns name" = complete url

Using google as an example, have you entered something like:

https://www.google.com or https://www.google.com/somelink

in the DNS box. If you have, try:

www.google.com
