Hey guys…

We are having a bunch of SSL to check, and I would like to know how are you doing it on your side…

Are you having a list? Are you having a “dumb” host ?

Need some idea 😉

@homerjay

yeah it’s part of my question! I was curious to see how people are “checking” their SSL certificate using icinga2!

@homerjay

I’m using the idea of the link you post but having a little question…

Using something like  
apply Service "Certificate " for (vhost in host.vars.vhosts\_ssl) {

it will create a service called “Certificate andthevalue”

How can I name my service “Certicate [andthevalue]”

?

EDIT:  
solution is  
name = “SSL [” + vars.http\_vhost + “]”  
display\_name = “SSL [” + vars.http\_vhost + “]”
