[Feature Request] vCenter Certificate expiring alert

[vlarocca]

Hi Folks,

As many of you discovered this year, especially reading this VmWare KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/66983 :

The validity period of all certificates issued by the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) is reduced to 2 years

During my latest maintenance intervention for a customer, IT guys said me: "This reducing of vCenter certificate expiration period is very annoying. I need to enable vCenter alerts especially for this reason...hey! Veeam One could maybe have an alert for certificate expiration."

It could be a good idea...unfortunately I wasn't able to found something like that. Was my research bad?

In the case where it really doesn't exist an alarm like that, I think it could be a good feature request, don't you think?

Let me know

Thanks guys
Vittorio

Hi Vittorio,

Yes, that's a good FR for the alarm. Additionally, judging by this KB from VMware, there should be an internal event on the vCenter Server flagging this situation. If that's correct, then you can already create a custom alarm (event-based) in Veeam ONE to address this scenario.

Thanks!
