SSL monitoring

Never let a certificate expire again

Add a domain and Acumen Logs pulls the certificate straight away: issuer, expiry date, and chain. Then it keeps checking, and tells you 30, 14, and 7 days before anything runs out, or the moment a certificate stops being trusted.

No credit card. Set up in under 60 seconds.

Setup

Add the domain. We do the rest

No OpenSSL commands and no spreadsheet of renewal dates. Paste a domain and the certificate details appear in seconds.

01
Add a domain

A main domain, a subdomain, a wildcard, or an API endpoint. The certificate is read immediately.

02
Keep the default reminders

Alerts go out 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. That is enough time to renew without a rush.

03
Choose who hears about it

Email on every plan. Slack, Microsoft Teams, desktop, and webhooks from the $5 Solo plan.

Issuer, expiry date, and chain show up as soon as you add the domain.

Beyond the expiry date

A certificate can be in date and still broken

Browsers do not only check the date. Acumen Logs validates the whole certificate, so you find out about a trust problem before a customer sees a full-page warning.

Looks fine at a glance
What Acumen Logs catches
Valid

The certificate is valid until next year.

Not trusted

It was issued for www.northline.example, not shop.northline.example. Browsers block the mismatch.

Valid

The padlock shows on your laptop.

Not trusted

The server is missing an intermediate certificate, so some phones and older browsers refuse the connection.

Valid

A partner’s API answers over HTTPS.

Not trusted

The certificate is self-signed. Your integration fails the moment it validates properly.

Valid

Nothing has changed on your side.

Not trusted

The certificate authority revoked the certificate. Every visitor now sees a security warning.

Certificate details

Everything OpenSSL would tell you, on one screen

Every endpoint shows the details you would otherwise dig out by hand. Clear, readable, and always current.

Issuer and authority
See exactly who issued each certificate, and which authority it chains to.
The exact expiry date
Not a guess from a hosting email. The date comes straight from the certificate.
Encryption standard
Know what each endpoint is serving, so outdated certificates stand out.
Chain integrity
Intermediate errors are caught before they break connections on some devices.
Reminders

Reminders that arrive while there is still time

Hosting reminders often fail silently, or go to someone who left last year. Acumen Logs sends renewals to the channels your team actually reads.

Email
Slack
Microsoft Teams
Desktop
Webhooks
  • Three reminders by default: 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry.
  • Immediate alerts when a certificate becomes self-signed, revoked, or mismatched.
  • Works for domains managed by third parties too, so a partner’s lapse does not become your outage.

Coverage

Every certificate, in one place

Ten domains or thousands of subdomains, they all sit on one dashboard. No more tracking renewals in a spreadsheet.

Load balancers

Check the certificate your users actually receive, wherever it terminates.

Wildcard subdomains

Watch *.yourdomain and the subdomains that depend on it.

API endpoints

Custom endpoints and partner APIs, not just the website.

Third-party domains

Certificates managed by an agency, a host, or a vendor you rely on.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I be alerted about an expiring certificate?

30, 14, and 7 days before it expires, so there is time to renew without a scramble.

What problems does it catch besides expiry?

Self-signed certificates, revoked certificates, certificates issued for the wrong domain, and missing intermediate certificates in the chain.

Can I monitor wildcard and API certificates?

Yes. Add wildcard subdomains, load balancers, and custom API endpoints alongside your main domains, all on one dashboard.

What if a certificate is managed by someone else?

Add it anyway. Monitoring works on domains managed by third-party services, so you hear about a lapse before your users do.
