StartTLS FTP-Proxy Certificate Monitoring

[l.mueller (Lukas Müller)]

Hello,

I would like to monitor our FTP proxy. I can obtain the certificate using the command

openssl s_client -connect <hostname>:21 -starttls ftp -servername <hostname> -showcerts

However, in the active check “Check certificates”, the only options available for StartTLS are SMTP, Postgres, IMAP and LDAP. These options do not work, as the expected protocol on the remote end is FTP.

Does anyone know of a way to monitor StartTLS connections using the FTP protocol with CheckMK? Is it possible to submit this as a feature request?

We are on Checkmk Pro 2.5.0p6.

Kind regards,

Lukas

In the meantime, you could use any Nagios plugin like check_ssl_cert out there to monitor.
