Query: APM:: Certificate Monitor

Miron

Hi,

Is it possible to monitor the status of ssl certs on a website so that you can set up an alert to warn you when it is near to expiry.

Regards

Miron

You can do it with a script:

Here is a sample script that does what they want but will need to be tweaked for APM

Denny,

Unless im mistaken it looks like this is a script that that runs on the target server rather than on the orion server.

Is this right.

Correct, assumption is that the certificate you are trying to verify is "installed" on the APM poller.

Miron

Sham,

Nope personally would find very little use of that. Looking for script to query remote urls and determine cert status. Similar to the one available for nagios.

Since you have found the Nagios script that does what you need, you can use the External Script processing functionality in APM to execute the Nagios script.

Here is some info Roger pulled out about our External Script Processing functionality

http://www.solarwinds.com/netperfmon/SolarWinds/ApplicationPerformanceMonitorAdministratorGuide.9.35.htm

Example Scripts

There are several sample scripts are installed with Orion APM you can use to create Linux/Unix script component monitors. These sample scripts are installed on your Orion APM server, in the folder:C:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion\APM\SampleScriptMonitors

ScriptProcessorForNagios(tm).pl

1. Download the Nagios script you want to use to the server you want to monitor. Save the file in an appropriate path such as /usr/local/bin/nagiosScriptName.

2. Change the file system mode (chmod) to make the script executable.

3. Test the Nagios script to make sure it works, specifying any necessary command line parameters.

4. Add a Linux Script component monitor to an existing application monitor template.

5. Paste the contents of the ScriptProcessorForNagios(tm).pl file into the Script Body field.

6. Type ${Script} /usr/local/bin/nagiosScriptName in the Command Line field, followed by any necessary command line parameters. For example:
${Script} /usr/local/bin/check_mysql_stats -H localhost -U MyUser -P MyPassword -w 80 -c 75 –t

Hi,

Thanks mate but;

The problem with the method above is that it relies on a script run on the target server itself rather than

the script running on APM. A large number of scripts for nagios are written in Perl and those that run from the poller do not lend themselves to being run on APM due to issues between WScript and Perl(with external calls to libraries etc)

Thanks anyway :-)
