SSL Monitor

Never miss an expiring SSL certificate again.

Flowtig SSL Monitor continuously monitors SSL certificates and alerts you before they expire.

Instead of manually checking websites or relying solely on automatic certificate renewal, SSL Monitor provides an independent overview of certificate health across your entire infrastructure.

Whether you're responsible for one website or hundreds of domains, SSL Monitor helps ensure your services remain trusted and accessible.

Independent certificate monitoring

SSL Monitor continuously verifies your certificates and notifies you before they expire, providing an additional layer of confidence for your infrastructure.


Why use SSL Monitor?

SSL certificates expire regularly.

Without monitoring, expired certificates can lead to browser warnings, interrupted services and reduced customer trust.

Typical questions include:

  • Which certificates expire next?
  • Which domains require attention?
  • Did automatic certificate renewal actually succeed?
  • Which websites are still protected?

SSL Monitor answers these questions automatically.


Overview

With SSL Monitor you can:

  • Monitor SSL certificates
  • Track certificate expiration dates
  • Receive automatic email notifications
  • Manage multiple domains
  • Review certificate health from one central dashboard

SSL Monitor Overview


Domain Monitoring

Simply add the domains you want to monitor.

For every configured domain, SSL Monitor automatically retrieves certificate information including:

  • Domain name
  • Certificate status
  • Expiration date
  • Remaining validity

Monitoring runs continuously without requiring manual intervention.


Certificate Status

SSL Monitor provides an up-to-date overview of certificate health across all monitored domains.

Typical information includes:

  • Valid certificate
  • Expiring certificate
  • Expired certificate
  • Remaining validity period

This allows administrators to quickly identify certificates requiring attention.

Domain Overview


Expiration Notifications

SSL Monitor sends email notifications before certificates expire.

This gives administrators enough time to renew certificates before visitors encounter browser security warnings.

Stay ahead of expiration

Early notifications help prevent unexpected outages and maintain customer trust.


Independent Verification

Many organisations already use automated certificate renewal.

SSL Monitor complements these solutions by independently verifying that certificates were actually renewed successfully.

Tip

Monitoring provides peace of mind even when certificates are renewed automatically.


Permissions

SSL Monitor uses Flowtig's central permission system.

Typical permissions include:

Permission Description
View monitored domains Browse configured domains
Add domains Create new monitors
Edit domains Update monitoring settings
Delete domains Remove monitored domains

Permissions can be assigned independently, allowing organisations to control who manages infrastructure monitoring.


Best Practices

Recommendation

Monitor every publicly accessible domain to maintain a complete overview of your SSL infrastructure.

Tip

Include staging and development environments whenever they are accessible from the internet.

Note

SSL Monitor complements automatic certificate renewal by providing independent verification rather than replacing existing automation.
