ABAP Certificates
This monitor checks the expiration status of certificates in ABAP PSEs and raises alarms when the remaining validity reaches configured thresholds.
What Can Be Monitored
- Expired certificates
- Certificates about to expire within a configured number of days
- Specific PSEs (or all PSEs) using pattern filters
- Specific certificate entries using text filters
Configuration Hints
- Matching is done per surveillance line (
PSE name+Cert. Filter). - For each matching certificate entry, remaining days are calculated from certificate end date.
- One non-aggregated alarm is generated per matching certificate when threshold is breached.
- Alarm message includes PSE, expiration status, remaining/overdue days, threshold, and certificate text.
- Date format can be forced with
Date format; otherwise it is auto-detected. Metriccolumn exists in configuration, but no metric is currently emitted by this monitor implementation.
Global Field
| Field | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Date format (DD.MM.YYYY) | Optional explicit input date format for certificate date parsing. Accepted separators like / are normalized. If empty, format is auto-detected from returned certificate dates. | (empty) |
Surveillance Table
| Field | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Active | true | Enables/disables this surveillance line. |
| PSE name | * | Filter on PSE name (supports wildcard matching). |
| Cert. Filter | * | Filter on certificate text line (supports wildcard matching). |
| Remaining days | 90 | Threshold expression evaluated against remaining days. Alarm triggers when remaining days are less than or equal to threshold. 0 disables alarming for the line. |
| Severity | MAJOR | Alarm severity used when threshold is breached. |
| Auto clear | true | If enabled, alarm is automatically cleared when condition is no longer met. |
| Alarm Tag | (empty) | Optional prefix/tag added to alarm message and alarm tag field. |
| Alarm | true | Enables/disables alarm generation for the line. |
| Metric | false | Enables/disables metric mode flag for the line. |
| Report | false | Enables/disables line in report mode. |
Threshold Format
Remaining days supports:
- Simple numeric threshold:
90 - Transition format:
G2W:90 W2M:60 M2C:30
For this monitor, lower value is worse (fewer days remaining).
Example Configuration
| Active | PSE name | Cert. Filter | Remaining days | Severity | Auto clear | Alarm Tag | Alarm | Metric | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| true | SSL Server Standard | * | 90 | 4 | true | ABAP_CERT | true | false | false |
| true | * | CN=*.company.com* | 60 | 3 | true | CERT_WEB | true | false | false |
Notes
- In standard monitoring mode, certificate lookup is requested with a wide horizon (
S_LIMITup to 365 days). - Alarm IDs are unique per monitor line, PSE, and certificate index to avoid collisions.
