check_smtp Monitor a TLS certificate

Post by ONB »

When I manually run the command
./check_smtp -H email.example.com -S -D 60
I get
OK - Certificate will expire on 01/24/2016 23:59.

When I set it up to be monitored with
check_smtp! -H email.example.com -S -D 60
The result is
SMTP OK - 0.006 sec

How do I get nagios to display the same results and monitor the certificate that the manual check does?

Thanks,
Alex

Could you please post the service definition and command definition that you are using, so that we can compare them.

Thanks sreinhardt. Nagios was kind of dumped on us with little to no training. I did not know about the command definitions. Once I got that created for the check I was wanting to do everything worked as hopes. I appreciate the help.
