SSL Certificate Monitoring

Stay ahead of expiry dates, trust problems, and misconfigurations before they disrupt users. Watchman Tower treats SSL monitoring as a core health signal inside your broader monitoring workflow.

Watchman Tower automatically checks your certificate's expiry date and notifies you well in advance, so customers always reach a secure site.

✔︎ This check is enabled by default on every plan; you don’t need to configure anything.

Why it matters

  • Avoid surprise outages. Browser trust errors instantly kill conversions—expiry alerts stop that from happening.
  • Protect SEO & brand. Google down-ranks sites with expired certificates; stay on page 1.
  • No manual calendar reminders. We watch the clock so you don’t have to.

How it works

  1. Point WT at any HTTPS URL; we record the expiration date automatically.
  2. We re-check daily and compare against the alert schedule.
  3. Default alerts at 30, 14, 7, 3 & 1 days before expiry.
  4. Notifications via Email, Slack, SMS or Push—depending on your plan quotas.
