check_ss_certs
check_ss_certs is a Nagios / Icinga plugin for checking for non self-signed trusted root or self-signed CA certificates. For some certificate-sensitive applications (such as Skype for Business) these certificates can force errors..
Requirements
I successfully tested the plugin on Windows Server 2008 / 2012 R2 machines.
Usage
This script needs to be executed on the Windows machine, e.g. using NSClient++.
Examples
The following example checks for non self-signed trusted root certificates:
PS >.\check_ss_certs.ps1
OK: No non self-signed trusted root certificatesChecking for self-signed CA certificates:
PS >.\check_ss_certs.ps1 -SelfSignedCA
OK: No self-signed intermediate certificatesInstallation
To install the plugin, move the PowerShell script to the plugins directory of your agent and alter the configuration, e.g. for NSClient++:
...
#check_ss_certs
check_ss_certs=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe c:\NSCP\plugins\check_ss_certs.ps1Restart the service and schedule a service check.
