A Nagios plugin to check an X.509 certificate:
- checks if the server is running and delivers a valid certificate
- checks if the CA matches a given pattern
- checks the validity
check_ssl_cert -H host [OPTIONS]
Arguments:
-H,--host host server
Options:
-A,--noauth ignore authority warnings (expiration only)
--altnames matches the pattern specified in -n with alternate
names too
-C,--clientcert path use client certificate to authenticate
--clientpass phrase set passphrase for client certificate.
-c,--critical days minimum number of days a certificate has to be valid
to issue a critical status
--curl-bin path path of the curl binary to be used
-d,--debug produces debugging output
-e,--email address pattern to match the email address contained in the
certificate
--ecdsa cipher selection: force ECDSA authentication
-f,--file file local file path (works with -H localhost only)
--file-bin path path of the file binary to be used
--force-perl-date force the usage of Perl for date computations
-h,--help,-? this help message
--ignore-exp ignore expiration date
--ignore-sig-alg do not check if the certificate was signed with SHA1
or MD5
--ignore-ocsp do not check revocation with OCSP
-i,--issuer issuer pattern to match the issuer of the certificate
--issuer-cert-cache dir directory where to store issuer certificates cache
-L,--check-ssl-labs grade SSL Labs assestment
(please check https://www.ssllabs.com/about/terms.html)
--ignore-ssl-labs-cache Forces a new check by SSL Labs (see -L)
--long-output list append the specified comma separated (no spaces) list
of attributes to the plugin output on additional lines
Valid attributes are:
enddate, startdate, subject, issuer, modulus,
serial, hash, email, ocsp_uri and fingerprint.
'all' will include all the available attributes.
-n,--cn name pattern to match the CN of the certificate (can be
specified multiple times)
--no_ssl2 disable SSL version 2
--no_ssl3 disable SSL version 3
--no_tls1 disable TLS version 1
--no_tls1_1 disable TLS version 1.1
--no_tls1_2 disable TLS version 1.2
-N,--host-cn match CN with the host name
-o,--org org pattern to match the organization of the certificate
--openssl path path of the openssl binary to be used
-p,--port port TCP port
-P,--protocol protocol use the specific protocol {http|smtp|pop3|imap|ftp|xmpp|irc|ldap}
http: default
smtp,pop3,imap,ftp,ldap: switch to TLS
-s,--selfsigned allows self-signed certificates
--serial serialnum pattern to match the serial number
--ssl2 force SSL version 2
--ssl3 force SSL version 3
-r,--rootcert path root certificate or directory to be used for
certificate validation
--rsa cipher selection: force RSA authentication
-t,--timeout seconds timeout after the specified time
(defaults to 15 seconds)
--temp dir directory where to store the temporary files
--tls1 force TLS version 1
--tls1_1 force TLS version 1.1
--tls1_2 force TLS version 1.2
-v,--verbose verbose output
-V,--version version
-w,--warning days minimum number of days a certificate has to be valid
to issue a warning status
Deprecated options:
-d,--days days minimum number of days a certificate has to be valid
(see --critical and --warning)
--ocsp check revocation via OCSP
-S,--ssl version force SSL version (2,3)
(see: --ssl2 or --ssl3)
check_ssl_cert requires 'expect' to enable timeouts. If expect is not present on your system timeouts will be disabled.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect
check_ssl_client supports the servername TLS extension in ClientHello if the installed openssl version provides it. This is needed if you are checking a machine with virtual hosts.
If -L or --check-ssl-labs are specified the plugin will check the
cached status using the SSL Labs Assessment API (see
https://www.ssllabs.com/about/terms.html).
The plugin will ask for a cached result (maximum age 1 day) to avoid to many checks. The first time you issue the check you could therefore get an outdated result.
The root certificate corresponding to the checked certificate must be
available to openssl or specified with the -r cabundle or
--rootcert cabundle option, where cabundle is either a file for -CAfile
or a directory for -CApath.
On macOS the root certificates bundle is stored in the Keychain and openssl will complain with:
verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate
The bundle can be extracted with:
$ sudo security find-certificate -a \
-p /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain > cabundle.crt
and then submitted to check_ssl_cert with the -r,--rootcert path option
./check_ssl_cert -H www.google.com -r ./cabundle.crt
