SSL Certificate Monitoring

Our SSL certificate monitoring system actively tracks and validates your SSL certificates to prevent unexpected expirations and ensure secure connections for your users.

What We Monitor

  • Certificate validity status
  • Expiration date tracking
  • Certificate issuer information
  • Days remaining until expiry

How It Works

For each monitored site, we:

  1. Establish a secure connection to your domain
  2. Retrieve and analyze the SSL certificate
  3. Calculate the remaining days until expiration
  4. Verify the certificate's validity status
  5. Track the certificate issuer information

Configuration Tips

  • Set the SSL expiry threshold based on your renewal process:
    • 30 days: Recommended for manual renewals
    • 14 days: Suitable for automated renewals
    • 7 days: Minimum recommended threshold
  • Enable notifications to receive alerts before certificates expire
  • Monitor all domains and subdomains that require SSL

Notifications

You'll receive notifications in the following scenarios:

  • When a certificate is approaching expiration (based on your threshold)
  • When a certificate becomes invalid
  • If there are issues with the certificate chain
  • When a certificate is successfully renewed

Important Note

SSL certificate monitoring is included in all monitoring configurations by default. You can adjust the expiry threshold and notification preferences in your monitor's settings.
