using community plugin check_ssl_certificate

[kcarsey]

Hello folks,

I'm a new user of Nagios XI and I have a question about using community plugins. I have installed the following plugin in my Nagios installation: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... te/details

I have successfully used the check script by running it at the command line with the required arguments. My question is, how do I implement this in the Nagios web gui? It does show up in the list of plugins, and appears to have the same permissions as all the other plugins, but in service management and under the "check command" drop down, I do not see check_ssl_certificate. I have also had the same issue with some other plugins, and I suspect it is an oversight of my own since I am new to Nagios. I would appreciate any advice, or documentation that would clearly explain what I need to do in order to get this working. For the time being i'm using check_http to check https certificate validity time, but I have other non-http certificates I'd like to check so I would like to be able to get this working.

Thank you in advance.

This is exactly what I needed. I had looked over this document but I guess I missed that one step. Thank you so much!
