Add Certificate Issuer to SSL Certificate Expiration Application Monitor

Is there any update to the status of the update of the Monitor for retrieving the issuer?

Dear govitallen,

until the monitor is change you can use a Powershelll monitor with the following content, Parameter: ${IP},[PORT]:

$PORT=$args[1]

$computername = $args[0]

$tcpsocket = New-Object Net.Sockets.TcpClient($computername , $PORT)

#test if the socket got connected

if(!$tcpsocket)

{

    Write-host "Message.Issuer: Error Opening Connection: $port on $computername Unreachable"

    Write-Host "Statistic.Issuer: 0"

    exit 1

}

else

{

    #Socket Got connected get the tcp stream ready to read the certificate

    write-host "Successfully Connected to $computername on $port" -ForegroundColor Green -BackgroundColor Black

    $tcpstream = $tcpsocket.GetStream()

    Write-host "Reading SSL Certificate...." -ForegroundColor Yellow -BackgroundColor Black

    #Create an SSL Connection

    $Callback = { param($sender, $cert, $chain, $errors) return $true }

    $sslStream = New-Object System.Net.Security.SslStream($tcpstream,$false,$Callback)

    #Force the SSL Connection to send us the certificate

    $sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient($computerName)

    #Read the certificate

    $certinfo = New-Object system.security.cryptography.x509certificates.x509certificate2($sslStream.RemoteCertificate)

}

Write-Host "Message.Issuer: Issuer: ", $certinfo.Issuer

Write-Host "Statistic.Issuer: 1"

exit 0

You can use this script to get all information from a certificate. Look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/system.security.cryptography.x509certificates.x509certificate2(v=vs.110).aspx  for more details.
