Bug ID 1581093: Expiration alerts are raised for certificates that have already expired

Last Modified: Jun 19, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ Applications(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
8.2.0.1

Opened: Apr 23, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When a BIG-IP has certificates that have already expired, the BIG-IQ can send out an alert stating the certificate will expire. A message similar to the following will be seen: "Certificate my_expired_certificate.crt on Hostname: Big-IPA will expire in -120 days"

Impact

There is no negative impact on the system. Alerts will be created for the certificates that have already expired or will soon expire.

Conditions

BIG-IQ has imported the configuration for a BIG-IP that contains expired certificates

Workaround

This issue has a workaround, but it will not persist an upgrade until it is fixed. Run the following command to update the criteria for the certificates: restcurl -X PATCH /cm/shared/event/alert-config/certificate_expire_threshold -d '{"alertConditionExpression": "latest le 30d and latest ge 0d"}' The file /var/config/rest/default/alertConfigurations/defaultAlertConfigs.json gets read in during service startup and needs to be updated to match the above information to avoid having the value overwritten at the next restjavad restart.

Fix Information

None
