Hi Frode, thanks for your reply.
If I read correctly you are suggesting to implement the check on the application providing the certs, which in our cases for OVN is 100% of times Vault.
I see some pros and cons of this choice:
Pros:
* we get out of the box monitoring for all certs provided by Vault, i.e. OpenStack API certs, Octavia certs, OVN certs etc.
Cons:
* We are only monitoring the certs that are in Vault. If the distribution of these certs fails, see LP#1940549, our monitoring will miss that as it will think the certs are all renewed but in reality the certs in the ovn-chassis or ovn-central units are still the old ones as Vault failed to provide the updated ones.
To be on the safe side, I think we should always monitor what is actually being used by the applications so I would like to see these checks in the OVN charms.
