Default Parameters for SSLCertTest The SSLCertTest monitors the validity period for SSL certificates of different web sites. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SSLCertTest. The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. In the TIMEOUT text box, provide the duration (in seconds) beyond which the test times out. In the TARGETS box, provide a comma-separated list of {HostIP/Name}:{Port) pairs, which represent the web sites to be monitored. For example, 192.168.10.7:443,192.168.10.8:443. The test connects to each IP/port pair and checks for validity of the certificate associated with this target. One set of metrics is reported for each target. The descriptor represents the common name (CN) value of the SSL certificate. Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made. When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
