Uptime monitoring

SSL/TLS monitoring

Certificate tracking and error handling.

Overview

Checkmate automatically monitors SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS monitors. You can track certificate expiration and receive alerts before certificates expire.

Certificate tracking

For every HTTPS monitor, Checkmate tracks:

  • Issuer: The certificate authority that issued the certificate
  • Valid from: When the certificate became valid
  • Expiration date: When the certificate expires
  • Days until expiry: Countdown to expiration

Expiration alerts

Checkmate sends notifications when certificates are approaching expiration. You can configure the warning threshold in monitor settings.

Set up certificate expiration alerts at least 14 days before expiry to give yourself time to renew.

Certificate errors

Checkmate detects common SSL/TLS issues:

  • Expired certificates
  • Self-signed certificates (unless explicitly allowed)
  • Certificate hostname mismatch
  • Incomplete certificate chains
