Custom alert for Horizon certificate expiring

[nsousaarlington]

I'm trying to create a custom alert for our internal Horizon certificates expiring. We use Windows PKI certificates. It isn't generating an alert (despite being detected by Skyline), so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have the Horizon and Skyline management packs installed in our VMware Cloud.

The trigger text is: “Certificate will expire shortly for Secure Gateway at address”, which was obtained from the connection server event log:

I didn't add the correct adapter for the test environment. I'm testing it now. The Skyline management pack might have an alert for this out of the box. I'll report back later.

I'm not sure if this will work. You want the alert to be triggered based on: "Certificate will expire shortly for Secure Gateway at address". 

But that is showing somewhere in Horizon. In order for the alert to be triggered, that same line has to be reported to vROps. And I'm not sure if that is the case or not.

If you are using Skyline, It could be that the Skyline MP already has an alert for cert expiring. Did you check for that?

There is a stock alert definition that is generating an alert correctly:
