x509 Certificate Input Plugin
This plugin provides information about X.509 certificates accessible e.g. via local file, tcp, udp, https or smtp protocols and the Windows Certificate Store.
When using a UDP address as a certificate source, the server must support DTLS.
Introduced in: Telegraf v1.8.0 Tags: network OS support: all
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# Reads metrics from a SSL certificate
[[inputs.x509_cert]]
## List certificate sources, support wildcard expands for files
## Prefix your entry with 'file://' if you intend to use relative paths
sources = ["tcp://example.org:443", "https://influxdata.com:443",
"smtp://mail.localhost:25", "udp://127.0.0.1:4433",
"/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem",
"/etc/mycerts/*.mydomain.org.pem", "file:///path/to/*.pem",
"jks:///etc/mycerts/keystore.jks",
"pkcs12:///etc/mycerts/keystore.p12",
"wincertstore://machine:ROOT", "wincertstore://user:CA"]
## Timeout for SSL connection
# timeout = "5s"
## Pass a different name into the TLS request (Server Name Indication).
## This is synonymous with tls_server_name, and only one of the two
## options may be specified at one time.
## example: server_name = "myhost.example.org"
# server_name = "myhost.example.org"
## Only output the leaf certificates and omit the root ones.
# exclude_root_certs = false
## Pad certificate serial number with zeroes to 128-bits.
# pad_serial_with_zeroes = false
## Password to be used with PKCS#12 or JKS files
# password = ""
## Optional TLS Config
# tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
# tls_server_name = "myhost.example.org"
## Set the proxy URL
# use_proxy = true
# proxy_url = "http://localhost:8888"Windows Certificate Store
When accessing certificates on the local Windows Certificate Store you have to select the certificate folder by using a URI or the form
wincertstore://[location]:<folder>With the location being either the local machine (default) or local user
store. The folder has to be the non-translated, English folder name as can be
found under the registry keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\SystemCertificates for the
machine location or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates
for the user location. See the Windows documentation for
details.
