Certificate expiry detection and renewal feature

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
InfoScale Operations Manager provides a provision to detect and renew the Management Server and the InfoScale Operations Manager Agents' certificates.
During the HOST discovery, InfoScale Operations Manager performs the certificate expiry detection. If the expiry date of the certificate is found 120 days or less, then below fault appears on the InfoScale Operations Manager GUI with number of remaining expiry days.
"InfoScale Operations Manager certificates will be expired within %days_remaining% days. Renew certificates"
Whenever you see the fault in InfoScale Operations Manager GUI, you need to perform renew certificates operation to renew the certificates. If you fail to renew the certificates in 120 days, then InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server and Agents may stop working.
To renew certificates
You can start the certificate renewal process when your certificates are about to expire by performing the following steps:
  1. On the InfoScale Operations Manager Console, click Settings > Host.
  2. Click the Renew Certificate option at the top of the menu bar. The Renew Certificates pop-up window opens.

Once Management Server and Agents certificates are successfully renewed, the fault disappears.
Note: While performing certificate renew operation, InfoScale Operations Manager validates whether all the agents are in the connected and reachable state. In case if any Agent is not connected or not reachable then you must need to fix the communication issue to renew the certificates.
  1. If you are using third party certificates for sfm_agent then InfoScale Operations Manager will detect it. In this case, renew certificate operation will renew certificates on Management Server only and you have to manually run the import_sfm_agent_certificate.pl script to update sfm_agent certificates for InfoScale Operations Manager Agents.
