Hmm, what about a browser warning that a cert is _about_ to expire? You'd think a major website would have employees looking at it on occasion, they'd catch it.

- progval 7y agoYou don't want this kind of warning to end-users. Just use monitoring with alerts.
- orblivion 7y agoWhat if it's like two days in advance? Probably better than the thing going down. Your monitoring should have caught it by then.
- davidcuddeback 7y agoThat’s a good use case for monitoring tools. There’s a Munin plugin that will measure days until expiration for SSL certs. I use that with an alert threshold just shorter than when Let’s Encrypt auto renews so that I get an email alert in case the auto renew fails for some reason.
