SSL Monitoring

Using SSL Monitoring you can ensure your SSL endpoints to avoid late renewal or misconfigurations that make your service unavailable. SSL Monitoring can be used for any port including 443, 465, etc. For each, you can easily configure several prior expiration notifications where the default configuration is 1, 7, 14, and 30 days prior notification. However, you always get an instant alert, if the SSL endpoint is misbehaving.

Creating a SSL Check

  1. Navigate to SSL Monitoring page and Click on Add new SSL Monitoring
  2. Provide appropriate values for:
    1. Label: Can be anything you want to see in the dashboard.
    2. Hostname: Your hostname (domain) e.g. xitoring.com or www.xitoring.com
    3. Port: For a webserver it usually 443. Can be any SSL endpoint
    4. Warning before SSL expire in: You can select as many as you wish, to receive prior expire notice.
    5. Notification Roles: You can select one or multiple notification roles to receive both instant and prior expire notifications.
    6. Fault Tolerance(M): It's applicable only for the time that SSL endpoints are not responding, misconfigured, or not reachable.
