SSL and domain expiry monitoring

An expired SSL certificate breaks HTTPS for every visitor. An expired domain registration can take your entire site offline—or worse, let someone else register it.

Certificate and domain renewals are easy to forget until something fails. Automated expiry monitoring gives you weeks or months of warning.

SSL monitors connect to your hostname on the configured port (default 443) and read the certificate expiry date. Domain monitors use RDAP lookups to find when a domain registration expires.

Checks run on a daily schedule (or less often if you choose a longer interval). Results appear in your dashboard alongside HTTP uptime monitors.

Set an alert threshold in days—for example, alert when a certificate expires within 14 days. Pingscalate marks the monitor as down when expiry falls within your threshold and sends Slack or email alerts through your escalation policy.

Escalation policies support recheck intervals and high-priority escalation, the same as HTTP monitors.

Every plan includes SSL and domain expiry monitoring. The free plan includes 1 SSL/domain monitor; Pro includes 10; Max includes 50.

HTTP monitors and SSL/domain monitors have separate limits—your 5 free HTTP monitors do not count against your SSL/domain allowance.

Add an SSL or domain monitor from the Monitors page, set your alert threshold, and link an escalation policy. The free plan includes 5 HTTP monitors, 5-minute checks, and one SSL/domain monitor—no credit card required.
