Integration version2.20.0
Overview
This check monitors TLS protocol versions, certificate expiration and validity, etc.
Notes:
- Only TCP is supported.
- Only leaf / end user certificates are verified (not intermediate and root certificates).
Setup
Installation
The TLS check is included in the Datadog Agent package.
No additional installation is needed on your server.
Configuration
Host
To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:
Edit the tls.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your TLS data. See the sample tls.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.
Restart the Agent.
Containerized
For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying the parameters below.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|
<INTEGRATION_NAME> | tls |
<INIT_CONFIG> | blank or {} |
<INSTANCE_CONFIG> | {"server": "%%host%%", "port":"443"} |
Note: If you are using internal certificates that are not from a well-known, trusted CA, certain metrics may not report to Datadog. Use tls_verify: false in your integration template to report all metrics in this instance.
Validation
Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for tls under the Checks section.

Service Checks
tls.can_connect
Returns CRITICAL if the Agent is unable to connect to the monitored endpoint, otherwise returns OK.
Statuses: ok, critical
tls.version
Returns CRITICAL if a connection is made with a protocol version that is not allowed, otherwise returns OK.
Statuses: ok, critical
tls.cert_validation
Returns CRITICAL if the certificate is malformed or does not match the server hostname, otherwise returns OK.
Statuses: ok, critical
tls.cert_expiration
Returns CRITICAL if the certificate has expired or expires in less than days_critical/seconds_critical, returns WARNING if the certificate expires in less than days_warning/seconds_warning, otherwise returns OK.
Statuses: ok, warning, critical
