SSL & Domain
Overview

SSL & Domain Monitor

Never get caught by an expired certificate.

What it monitors

The SSL & Domain Monitor watches three layers for each domain you track:

  1. TLS certificate — issuer, subject, valid-from/to, chain length, key strength
  2. Domain registration — registrar, expiry, name servers (via WHOIS)
  3. Authoritative DNS — A, AAAA, MX, NS records

Alert thresholds

We send an alert at each of these thresholds (configurable per monitor):

Days remainingSeverity
30 daysMedium — plan renewal
14 daysHigh — schedule renewal
7 daysCritical — renew now
1 dayCritical — emergency
ExpiredCritical — outage in progress

Supported TLDs

WHOIS lookups work for 20+ TLDs including:

  • Global: .com .net .org .io .ai .co .me .dev .app .tv .info .biz
  • Regional: .us .uk .de .fr .it .es .nl
  • MENA: .eg .sa .ae .com.sa .com.eg

For unsupported TLDs we still monitor SSL (which is the more critical signal).
