Script to check validity and expiration of TLS/SSL certificate on site. May be used with Zabbix or standalone.

Script to check validity and expiration of TLS/SSL certificate for given host, port and (optional) servername for TLS SNI.

May be used standalone or with Zabbix. See example of integration in userparameters_ssl_cert_check.conf and zabbix manual about user parameters.

Usage

ssl_cert_check.sh valid|expire <hostname or IP> [port] [domain for TLS SNI] [check timeout (seconds)]

• [port] optional, default is 443
• [domain for TLS SNI] optional, default is <hostname or IP>.
  SNI(Server Name Indication) is used to specify certificate domain name if it differs from the hostname.
• [check timeout (seconds)] optional, default is 5 seconds

Return values

• 1|0 for validity check: 1 - valid, 0 - invalid, expired or unavailable
• N number of days left for expiration check. Zero or negative value means certificate is expired
• -65535 site was unavailable for expiration check or incorrect script parameters

Examples

user@host:~$ ./ssl_cert_check.sh valid valid.example.com
1

user@host:~$ ./ssl_cert_check.sh valid imap.valid.example.com 993
1

user@host:~$ ./ssl_cert_check.sh valid invalid.example.com

# Expired certificate is not valid
user@host:~$ ./ssl_cert_check.sh valid expired.example.com

user@host:~$ ./ssl_cert_check.sh expire effective-next-90-days.example.com
90

user@host:~$ ./ssl_cert_check.sh expire expired-37-days-ago.example.com
-37

# NOTE: an error message is shown to stderr only when running on a terminal
# Without terminal(from zabbix), only the result is printed to stdout

Using with busybox, like Alpine-based Docker images

Busybox date can not parse date format from openssl. If you are using busybox, for example for Alpine-based Docker images, install coreutils package.
