CRL check jamming on r3.o.lencr.org?

My domain is: ukllc.ac.uk, www.edqual.org, and others

I ran this command: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ssl_cert --altnames --cn ukllc.ac.uk --critical 7 --host 172.25.3.77 --ignore-sct --ignore-tls-renegotiation --selfsigned --sni ukllc.ac.uk --warning 28

It produced this output: None, it times out!

We have been seeing sporadic failure of check_ssl_cert (check_ssl_cert by matteocorti) in Icinga over the past few days. Running strace on check_ssl_cert shows it jamming on a connection to an r3.o.lencr.org address:

$ strace -f /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ssl_cert --altnames --cn ukllc.ac.uk --critical 7 --host 172.25.3.77 --ignore-sct --ignore-tls-renegotiation --selfsigned --sni ukllc.ac.uk --warning 28
[...]
[pid 15664] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("23.55.58.67")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)
[pid 15664] select(4, NULL, [3], NULL, {tv_sec=120, tv_usec=0}^C <unfinished ...>

$ host r3.o.lencr.org
r3.o.lencr.org is an alias for o.lencr.edgesuite.net.
o.lencr.edgesuite.net is an alias for a1887.dscq.akamai.net.
[...]
a1887.dscq.akamai.net has address 23.55.58.67
[...]

Currently we are seeing bursts of problems, always with 23.55.58.67, several times a day, lasting half and hour or so each time. The problems only started in the past few days - we've previously been successfully running check_ssl_cert for months.

Is this a known problem? Or some Akamai issue?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi @jonhalettuob, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

I'm unfamiliar with:

What does this parameter do?
And why is there an IP used instead of an FQDN?

If you're intermittently losing connectivity to that Akamai host from your network, it might help to also include:

  • What network/IP Icinga is connecting from
  • traceroute to that Akamai host when things are working
  • traceroute to that Akamai host when things are not working
