cert-expiry-check v0.2.0

cert-expiry-check

A module to check the expiry of SSL/TLS certs.

Usage

In it's most basic form, using the default configuration:

const CertExpiryCheck = require('cert-expiry-check');
const checker = new CertExpiryCheck();
checker.checkHosts([{
  hostname: 'www.google.com'
}]).then((results) => {
  console.log(results);
}).catch((e) => {
  console.error(e); // bubbles up HTTP errors and invalid cert chains
});

Gives the following result:

[{
  "host":{
    "hostname":"www.google.com",
    "port":443,
    "alertWindowDays":30,
    "headers":{
      "User-Agent":"SSL Certificate Expiry Checker 0.1.0"
    },
    "method":"GET"
  },
  "details":{
    "subject":{
      "org":"Google Inc",
      "commonName":"www.google.com",
      "altName":"DNS:www.google.com"
    },
    "issuer":{
      "org":"Google Inc",
      "commonName":"Google Internet Authoritym G2"
    }
  },
  "validFrom":"2016-05-18T10:59:02.000Z",
  "validTo":"2016-08-10T10:46:00.000Z",
  "expiry":{
    "days":72,
    "milliseconds":6198331472,
    "isExpired":false,
    "isInAlertWindow":false
  }
}]

There are two types of configurations that can be performed, first the 'global' defaults used for all checked domains:

const checker = new CertExpiryCheck({
  timeout: 5000, // timeout used for HTTPS connections
  defaultPort: 443, // port used for all HTTPS connections
  defaultAlertWindowDays: 30, // default alert window to use for near expiry certs
  userAgent: 'SSL Certificate Expiry Checker 0.1.0' // default user agent to send with requests
});

Secondly, the per host configurations that override the defaults (above) for each host to check:

checker.checkHosts([{
  hostname: 'www.google.com',
  port: 443,
  alertWindowDays: 30,
  userAgent: 'SSL Certificate Expiry Checker 0.1.0'
}]).then((results) => {
  console.log(results);
})

Note: There is currently no support for self-signed certs, as this was outside of the core use-case. Happy to accept pull requests for support however.
