Hello

I want to monitor the SSL certificate expiry of MySQL server hosted remotely. There is an option in check\_ssl\_cert plugin “–protocol mysql” but it doesnt seem to work when I mention host IP and port (mysql port number).  
Am I using this plugin wrongly or is there any other plugin available to achieve this?
