Creating a Certificate Expiration Alert

A certificate expiration alert sends an email notification a set number of days before a certificate's expiry date. Multiple thresholds can be added to a single alert, so you can receive notices at 90, 30, and 7 days from a single configuration.

Create the Alert

In the Admin Web Console, navigate to Alerts and click Add new alert.
Select Certificate Expiration and click Next.
Choose which certificates to monitor: All certificates, or select specific certificates or certificate groups. Click Next.
Configure the certificate expiration alert event with the certificates selected.

Setting	Description
Receive Alerts Toggle	When enabled, Signum also sends an alert for any certificates that have already passed their expiry date. Useful when first enabling alerts to catch anything that may have been missed.
Expiration Day Notice	The number of days before expiry to send a notification. Enter a value and click Add. Repeat to add multiple thresholds, for example, 90, 30, and 7.

Enter the email address of the users that will receive the alerts.
Use the Store Event Log toggle to save the alerts to the events log in the Events section of the Admin Web Console.
Click Apply to save the alert.

The alert appears in the Alerts list where it can be edited or deleted at any time.
