NSX Certificate Monitoring
Once the VMware Infrastructure Health collects the health of the NSX health services, it monitors the configured NSX Server and NSX manager node certificates, on a daily basis. It also alerts the user to avoid environment downtime. The certificate properties are published under the Certificate Summary group.
Alerts are raised based on the number of days set for critical, immediate, and warning category under the global setting. The
NSX certificates contain the following three symptoms:
- has expired or will expire shortly - for critical
- expire shortly - for immediate
- about to expire - for warning
These symptoms are triggered if the certificate expiry date has reached the threshold condition set for critical, immediate, and warning. A notification is displayed explaining the alert information.
NSX Backup Job
The retention period for NSX backup job monitoring is set by default to the last 7 days. You cannot update the retention period for NSX.
