x509 metrics no longer reporting invalid certificates about telegraf HOT 7 CLOSED

In 1.29.4, I am no longer receiving any metrics.

To be clear, you are not getting any results from this plugin? Can you please provide the output from [[outputs.file]] output you see no x509_cert metrics generated?

Can you also provide your full telegraf logs?

You debug output appears to be identical except for the addition of the location field.

We don't appear to be using [[outputs.file]] in our conf file. Is this needed for x509_cert plugin? Yes I noticed the only difference between telegraf 1.25.3 and 1.29.4 is the one extra line about location.

Is this needed for x509_cert plugin?

It is not, but it would help understand what is getting produced. The x509 plugin does not return early and produces metrics even on errors. I'd like to eliminate an issue with your outputs and see if the plugin is in fact generating metrics or not.

ok, I think I found my issue, in my conf files both x509 include:
[inputs.x509_cert.tags]
type = "RDP_Cert" or "SSL_Cert" to differentiate and make it easier to find. It looks like in one of the newer versions, x509_plugin added a metric of type which conflicts and overwrites the type I defined.

1.29.4:
x509_cert,host={Servername},type=root expiry=8031952i,enddate=1720099223i 1712067270000000000
x509_cert,host={Servername},type=leaf expiry=1055741i,enddate=1713123012i 1712067270000000000

1.25.3:
x509_cert,host={Servername},type=RDP_Cert expiry=8031712i,enddate=1720099223i 1712067510000000000
x509_cert,host={Servername},type=SSL_Cert enddate=1713123012i,expiry=1055501i 1712067510000000000

Confirmed, after making the change and adjusting my query:
[inputs.x509_cert.tags]
certtype = "RDP_Cert" or "SSL_Cert"

Output reports:
x509_cert,certtype=RDP_Cert,host={Servername} expiry=8030902i,enddate=1720099223i 1712068320000000000
x509_cert,certtype=SSL_Cert,host={Servername} expiry=1054691i,enddate=1713123012i 1712068320000000000

Confirmed, after making the change and adjusting my query:

Thanks for confirming!
