F5 SSL certificate expiration

[jamiedanish]

I would love to see the ability to monitor when SSL certs are close to expiration on the F5 without much effort. Since a lot of F5 customers use their LTMs for SSL off-loading, this seems like it would be a nice feature to have.

I would agree with this, We use F5 and we really need to watch our certs.

Just adding the virtual address as a node and using the SAM SSL Certificate Expiration component works, but there is a catch. If there are no pool members when the cert is checked, the check fails, even though the SSL cert information is available an can be checked using OpenSSL. Apparently the SAM component is doing more than just the certificate date check. Our customers are complaining about false positives due to this.

This would be a great enhancement to the current F5 polling!

Hope this can be made possible soon!

I'd like this, too.

This needs to happen!

This needs to happen! Just finished troubleshooting an issue involving the DirectAccess NLS service we have on our F5:s, the cert was expired.

If you use NCM then it is possible to parse the config files for the certificate information.

Definitely a big feature to add, though.
