This is the most advanced & simple script to achieve the Nagios SSL Expiry Monitoring. Worked Well. Some Nagios Administrators, here is my configuration file.
==========================
commands.cfg
{
define command
command_name check_ssl_cert_expiry
command_line $USER1$/check_ssl_cert_expiry -h $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}
==========================
{
define service
use generic-service
check_interval 60
retry_interval 5
host_name central_nagios
service_description Server SSL Certificate Expiry of YOUR DOMAIN NAME check_command check_ssl_cert_expiry!YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME!60!30 contacts nishithvyas notification_interval 60 notifications_enabled 1
}
Done.

In a single SSL site it´s works fine. However, if we have more than one SSL site in the same server, this plugin only check one of them, and all the sites has the same expiry date.
Thanks.
Thanks.

After trying a bunch of other ssl cert plugins, this one works right out of the box on a minimal install O.S. Thank you very much!
