Configuring the certificate monitor by using the REST API

You can configure the certificate monitor by using the REST API.

• To configure the certificate monitor:
  1. Compose the following payload:

     {
       " CertMonitor ": {
         "name": "Certificate Monitor",
         "mAdminState ": "enabled",
         "PollingInterval": "poll",
         "ReminderTime": "reminder",
         "LogLevel": "level",
         "DisableExpiredCerts": "on/off"
       }
     }
     

     Where:

     PollingInterval

     Specifies how frequently the certificates should be scanned. Specify a value between 1 and 65535 days.

     ReminderTime

     Specifies how many days in advance of expiration warnings should be issued. Specify a value between 1 and 65535 days.

     LogLevel

     Specifies the log level that should be assigned to the certificate expiration warnings.

     DisableExpiredCerts

     Set to ON to automatically disable certificates that have expired. This feature is not available for queue manager certificates.

  2. Post the payload to the following URI:

     POST https://hostname:5554/mgmt/config/default/CertMonitor/Certificate%20Monitor

• To view the current setting of the certificate monitor, issue a GET to the certificate monitor URI:

  GET https://hostname:5554/mgmt/config/default/CertMonitor

  The current setting is displayed, for example:

  {
    "CertMonitor": {
      "name": "Certificate Monitor",
      "mAdminState": "enabled",
      "PollingInterval": 1,
      "ReminderTime": 30,
      "LogLevel": "warn",
      "DisableExpiredCerts": "off"
    }
  }
