Does the HTTP Synthetic Monitor create a metric for SSL Expiration Days?

Hello everyone.

We've been successfully using Dynatrace's HTTP Synthetic Monitors to not only detect websites downtimes, but also to identity for soon to be expired SSL certificates by cheking the option "SSL certificate expiration date verification" when creating the HTTP monitor.

Does Dynatrace create any metric related to the days remaining for the SSL certificates to be expired? I'd like to create a dashboard using this information.

I understand that there is a SSL Certificate Monitor extension which install such dashboard, but we're looking to use only the Synthetic Monitors due to some limitations our company has for using third-party extensions.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Rodrigo_Renie

As far as I know there is no such metric available at this movement.

I use this plugin to check it https://github.com/360Performance/dynatrace-plugin-certcheck

or create your own plugin.

Cheers!

Hi,

I think that no. Product idea has been raised.

Best regards
