Monitoring multiple domains (https/tls/ssl certificates) on one host/server?

But if I want to add lets say 4 default rules for all my domains (e.g. test the response, test for 404 returns, etc.) it gets a bit out of hand to create these 4 rules for each Domain manually.

This is absolutely true, yes. You will pretty quickly have dozens of rules this way.

@beob

Instead if I create these 4 rules that apply to all servers with a certain label (my “domain/webservers”), I “only” have to create the Domain/Webserver and the same rules apply to it.

This is also the way we simplified monitoring “domain-only” hosts for our non-checkmk technicians. This proved to be quite robust, yet simple to use.

As an addition: You could maybe have a look at the rule Host check command. You could set this to Assume host to always be up if you would not want to check host availability for your domains via (smart) ping.

Happy monitoring
