I don't have 4.2.0 handy to check, but in xymon-4.3+ the xymonnet program has options for SSL certificate tests that include --sslwarn and --sslalarm, which determines the number of days before expiry to flag yellow then red.

I don't know when that feature appeared in hobbit/xymon. If you have it, you'd add those options in the config file where bbnet is launched.

Thanks, Michael.  I was able to use that path to our own version (4.2.0), which has the same defaults.   I will use those.  I appreciate the quick response!

from what is probably an older version of the code http://xymonosx.googlecode.com/svn-history/r5/trunk/4.2.3/bbnet/bbtest-net.c

int             sslwarndays = 30;             /* If cert expires in fewer days, SSL cert column = yellow */

int             sslalarmdays = 10;            /* If cert expires in fewer days, SSL cert column = red */

I’ve delved into many files and Internet sites, but cannot find where the global defaults are for WARNDAYS and ALARMDAYS for sslcert.  I can modify the parameters for various servers in the bb-hosts file, but I need to find the overall defaults.  If they are hidden in a binary coded file, how would I decompile it, or whatever, to find this info?

Thanks for any answers.
