SSL Monitoring

exit1.dev automatically monitors SSL/TLS certificates for all HTTPS checks.

Automatic Monitoring

SSL monitoring is enabled by default for any check using an https:// URL. No additional configuration is required.

What’s Monitored

Certificate Details

exit1.dev tracks the following certificate information:

FieldDescription
IssuerThe Certificate Authority that issued the certificate
SubjectThe domain the certificate is issued for
Valid FromCertificate start date
Valid ToCertificate expiration date
Serial NumberUnique certificate identifier
FingerprintCertificate fingerprint for verification

Validation Checks

Each SSL check verifies:

  • Certificate validity - Is the certificate currently valid?
  • Certificate chain - Is the full chain of trust intact?
  • Expiration - Is the certificate approaching expiration?
  • Domain match - Does the certificate match the monitored domain?

Refresh Cycle

SSL certificate information is refreshed every 6 hours. This means:

  • Certificate changes are detected within 6 hours
  • Expiration warnings update every 6 hours
  • New certificates are recognized after the next refresh cycle

SSL Alerts

SSL-related alerts include:

EventDescription
ssl_errorCertificate is invalid, expired, or has chain issues
ssl_warningCertificate is approaching expiration

These alerts are sent through your configured alert channels (email, SMS, webhooks, Slack, Discord).

Best Practices

  • Monitor all production HTTPS endpoints
  • Set up alert channels to receive SSL warnings before certificates expire
  • Use Domain Intelligence for additional domain expiration tracking
  • Review certificate details periodically in the dashboard
