At the moment we receive notifications from UptimeRobot when an SSL certificate is 14 days away from expiring. The problem is that our server automatically renews the SSL certificate 12 days before expiry. So we always ignore the notifications from UptimeRobot. However, if we could choose the number of days until expiry where we want to be notified, that would make that feature very useful. For example, I would want to know if a certificate was expiring in 8 days - because that would mean the auto-renewal didn’t work. Other people might want a 5 day timeframe. Who knows. If we could choose our own window for the number of days, that would be great.
Uptime Robot just notified me when we had 30 days before expiry. Of course that’s about the time a lot of ACME tools renew certificates (3 month certificate, renew when 1 month remaining). When investigating the alert, my server had already renewed the cert.
Agree with this - LetsEncrypt recommends renewing every 60 days (i.e. when 30 days remain) https://letsencrypt.org/docs/faq/ and email notifications are 20 days prior https://letsencrypt.org/docs/expiration-emails/
It would be good, if the alert come in work hours, not in the night
It would be great to select the period like 7 days, 15 days, 30 days.
I have to explain that there’s no problem every time there’s a 30 day notification in Slack.
We have a hardware appliance with LetEncypt support, but its locked down with no way for us to increase renewal interval, so this would a useful feature.
Selecting the number of days when it would notifiy would be ideal.
But, at the very minimum it would be good if the 90 day certificates issued by Cloudflare using Google Trust Services are also included in the 14 day window as right now they notifify at 30 days even though cloudflare doesn’t renew them until right after 30 days.
