Hello to all,
I need to monitor the certificates from my Windows machines but I could not find any article on how to do that and there is a post here on the forums but it is not very clear what to do.
After this should I be able to see a new menu or option somewhere in the console?
Is there something that needs to be done on the client side also?
Will it monitor the User and the Machine store?
If your are using the RAW edition you need to copy the agent plugin from $OMD_ROOT/local/share/check_mk/agents/windows/plugins to C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins.
You can use the agent bakery if you have the Enterprise edition.
Thank you, it worked. Now for others who want to do this:
Download the plugin and copy the mkp file in the root directory of your site /opt/omd/sites/SITE NAME
Change user to user site name omd su SITE NAME
Install the mkp package mkp add sslcertificates-8.7.2.mkp mkp enable sslcertificates
Using WinSCP go to /omd/sites/SITE NAME/local/share/check_mk/agents/windows/plugins and copy the sslcertificates.ps1 on your monitored computers to C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins
In the checkmk console you should have by now under the Discovery Rules a rule named SSL certificate discovery. Add a new rule and save it.
Thank you for the summary at the end, it helped me a lot with my Windows hosts.
Even though the heading “Monitor Windows Certificates with Checkmk” does I have an additional question about Linux hosts?
With Linux hosts, do I also have to copy a file or pay attention to something special so that the (system) SSL certificates can be monitored via this plugin?
