Description

This alarm indicates that the certificate mentioned will expire in the specified number of days.

Based on the configuration, set system security certExpiryCheck expiryWarningThreshold 30 expirationPeriodicWarning 3 certReCheckRate 24, the following actions are performed on a daily basis:

  1. Get the expiry time of the certificate.
  2. Get the current time.
  3. Determine the number of days difference.
    1. If the difference in days is equal to threshold (for example, 30) then generate alarm. Otherwise, 
    2. If the difference is less than the threshold then if it is a multiplier of the periodic warning rate (for example, 3 that is 27 days, 24 days) then generate alarm. Otherwise, 

    3. Generate info level log – for example, 'certificate <certname>remote is <X> days away from expiration'. That is, the alarm is triggered when either 30 days is remaining, or on multiple of 3 days. For example, 27 days left, 24 days left, 21 days left.

Note: Once the certificate is past its expiry date, the alarm is generated on a daily basis until it is replaced or disabled.
