Golang Check TLS Certificates

This Heroku Golang app is a fork of Ryan Rogers' go-check-certs which checks the expiry dates and signature algorithms of an SSL certificate for a given host. Warning messages are displayed if a certificate expires in less than 30 days and also if the signature algorithm has already been sunset.

Usage

This app runs on heroku as a worker process & sends e-mail notifications via Mandrill to administrators if a certificate of a given host expires within X days or if its signature algorithm has already been sunset.

To receive e-mail notifications, you'll need to specify the following OS environment variables:

• EMAIL_DEST_ADDR: A space separated list of e-mail address(es) which notifications will be sent to.
• EMAIL_SRC_ADDR: E-mail address which Mandrill will use to send notifications on behalf of.
• MANDRILL_KEY: Mandrill API key

This app uses the following options:

• -hosts: path to a file containing a list of hosts to check. Each line uses the syntax hostname:port, empty lines or lines that start with # are ignored.
• -years: warn if the certificate expires within X years. Defaults to 0 years.
• -months: warn if the certificate expires within X months. Defaults to 0 months.
• -days: warn if the certificate expires within X days. Defaults to 30 days.
• -concurrency: Maximum number of hosts to check at once. Defaults to 8 hosts.
• -check-sig-alg: Check certificate's signature algorithm. Defaults to true.

Examples usage:

$ go run main.go -hosts=hosts -days=30
2015/06/04 14:53:27 no certifcate(s) are/is expiring in 0 years, 0 months, 30 days

$ go run main.go -hosts=hosts -years=1 -months=3 -days=2
2015-06-04 11:54:12 UTC: cgspace.cgiar.org:443: 'cgspace.cgiar.org' (S/N 40D4587A33E30) expires in roughly 303 days.

Deploying to heroku

• clone the repo & create a golang app on heroku:

    git clone https://github.com/ilri/rmg-check-tls-certs.git
    heroku apps:create <APP-NAME> --buildpack https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go.git
  

• Specify EMAIL_DEST_ADDR, EMAIL_SRC_ADDR & MANDRILL_KEY environment variables under Config Variables in the application's Setting page on heroku dashboard.

• Specify the app's name in the Procfile

    worker: <APP-NAME> -hosts=hosts <OTHER-OPTIONS>
  

• push to deploy

    git push heroku master
