Hello,

  We are using Xymon to monitor our web server, and of course the https
test works well watching those certs. We are moving toward using certs in
MS SQL for encryption. Does anybody have a way to monitor those within
xymon? Thanks.

What exactly are you wanting to monitor?  Their expiration is a built in
feature.

Hi Josh,

Yes the expiration, I know it?s built in for network services like ldaps
and https, but is there something for MS SQL server as well?

    Thanks.
