How to run synthetic monitor only once per day (SSL certificate check)

[Gogi]

Hi All,

We want to validate SSL certificate expiry date so we can use "HTTP monitor" , this monitor can be run from 1min to 60mins frequency but we want this to run only once per day.

Please suggest how it can be done.

Thanks,
Guru Gogi

IMO You can set Maintenance Window with Disable synthetic monitor execution for that

Hello @Gogi ,

For your use case, you need to run the synthetic monitor on-demand through the Dynatrace API. https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/dynatrace-api/environment-api/synthetic-v2/synthetic-monitor-executi...

This can be done through any tool with scheduling and especially in Dynatrace Saas through Workflows.

Note that for this use case there's probably a better option with the SSL Certificate Monitor extension.
