Website certificate by Zabbix agent 2
Overview
For Zabbix version: 5.4 and higher
The template to monitor TLS/SSL certificate on the website by Zabbix agent 2 that works without any external scripts.
Zabbix agent 2 with the WebCertificate plugin requests certificate using the web.certificate.get key and returns
JSON with certificate attributes.
Setup
See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.
1. Setup and configure zabbix-agent2 with the WebCertificate plugin.
2. Test availability: zabbix_get -s <zabbix_agent_addr> -k web.certificate.get[<website_DNS_name>]
3. Create a host for the TLS/SSL certificate with Zabbix agent interface.
4. Link the template to the host.
5. Customize the value of {$CERT.WEBSITE.HOSTNAME} macro.
Zabbix configuration
No specific Zabbix configuration is required.

The SSL certificate fingerprint has changed. If you did not update the certificate, it may mean your certificate has been hacked. Ack to close. There could be multiple valid certificates on some installations. In this case, the trigger will have a false positive. You can ignore it or disable the trigger. |
