please guide me how to configure socket timeout of check cert SSL website, current default value is 10 so the message returns a lot.
In the rule Check HTTP service you have the option Seconds before connection times out and Expected response time
Ahh, sorry you are right, I didnt expected that
The only solution then I see is to use the rule ‘Integrate Nagios plugins’ and run the plugin with with option -t:
./check_http -H www.verisign.com -C 14 -t 10
thanks for your answers, but I don’t know where the check_http is to run and where to use the ‘Nagios plugin integration’ rule
Its a simple general approach, in Setup search for nagios and you will find the rule. In the rule enable inline help (Help → Enable inline help)
The plugins are in the mentioned default folder:
OMD[XXX]:~/lib/nagios/plugins$ ./check_http -H xxx.yyy.corp -C 14 -t 1
OK - Certificate 'xxx.dd.ff.cc' will expire on Thu Jun 26 13:49:59 2025 +0000.

Did you figure out how to change the timeout settings for the https/SSL check? I cant figure out how with nagios documentation.
Im using CheckMK enterprise.
For example for Command line sectionin nagios I put ./check_http -H xxx.123.com -C 14 -t 60
for a timeout of 60, therefore this should override the default 10 second timeout with 60 seconds correct?
