SSLMonitor — Help & Guide
CloseGetting started
- Click + New Monitor and paste your site URL (defaults: https, 443).
- Open the monitor and click Run check now.
We keep a history of checks to track expiry/errors over time.
Monitors list
- Status: OK / WARN / ERR reflect the latest check.
- Days left derived from certificate
notAfter. - Search/sort UI (host, status, days left) rolling out.
Checks & certificate details
- Subject CN, Issuer, validity, key bits, signature algorithm, SANs, SHA-256 fingerprint.
- Latency = TLS handshake + peer cert retrieval.
- Raw PEM stored (download coming soon).
TLS & Cipher support
- TLS 1.0–1.3 handshakes; curated cipher probes ≤ TLS 1.2.
- TLS 1.3 suite: we show the negotiated suite reported by PHP streams.
- Planned: ALPN (HTTP/1.1 vs h2), HSTS, OCSP stapling, chain completeness, security score.
Reports & dashboards
- Expiring: ≤N days (default 30), e.g.
?days=7. - Invalid: failed/expired checks.
- Logs: audit (login, user, settings).
- Dashboard: totals, expiring soon, errors, never-checked.
Email alerts
- Configure under Settings → Email (recipients, cooldown, SMTP, self-signed toggle).
Users & access
- Only active global admins see the admin drawer.
- Safety rails: can’t demote/deactivate yourself; can’t remove last active admin.
Troubleshooting
- Handshake failed: server rejects cipher/protocol, SNI mismatch, or network block.
- No peer certificate: service didn’t present a cert on that port.
- OpenSSL missing: PHP extension not enabled.
