Personally, I find it not done that your zabbix server has internet access. But that's when you are using it in Enterprise networks. Plus, not all certificates you use in such a network are used for web apps. So you need to check the file on disk.

Hi, with Zabbix 6 it gives me this error: Preprocessing failed for: Unsupported item key.

Can you help me!

I have a load balanced farm with 2 servers, each server has a leg of each website, I have more than 50 websites (so 50 in each server), different ports, every site with it's own certificate binding.

To monitor certificate for every site I should create 1 host for each site, meaning I needed to create 100 hosts (50+50)? Isn't there a simpler way, where I can put a list of https url's and one single agent/host can validate the certificate for every URL? Does this make sense?

why {host.host} macro not work if hostname is already the cert website url?
