SSL Monitor - Documentation
Monitoring expiry dates of SSL certificates
SSL monitors regularly check SSL certificates on HTTP & FTP servers for validity. They make sure the certificate name matches the host, certificate chain is trusted & the certificate is not expiring soon.
Alerts for SSL certificates are sent 30 days, 15 days, 7 days, and 1 day before expiry.
