TLS Version

A TLS version check inspects the options being use for the HTTPS encryption. Older versions of SSL and TLS have serious vulnerabiltiies that can expose your web server to malicious actors.

Important

The Monitor Target attribute for this monitor type MUST be a valid URL with the protocol. e.g. https://canary.kaweka.nz

Monitor Specific Options

NameDescriptionValue TypeExample ValueRequired
PortThe network port for the remote service. Defaults to 443Integer443FALSE
SSL/TLS VersionThe specific TLS version to check for. If empty, will check for TLSv1.2 or laterString1.3FALSE

Evaluation

The response to the monitor attempt will be evaluated as a TRUE or FALSE depending on matches to the SSL/TLS version are found in the response.

Tip

Setting up a check for the expected protocol version is the best idea, but you can also create a monitor looking for an unexpected version and notify when the result becomes successful.
