SSL/TLS certificates are essential for securing endpoints. Phare makes monitoring and management straightforward by automatically detecting and tracking certificates across websites, APIs, and services.

​
How certificate discovery works

Phare integrates certificate discovery directly into the monitoring system for any HTTPS endpoint or TCP endpoint with TLS enabled.
  • Certificates are automatically detected when Phare monitors your endpoints
  • Multiple certificates per monitor are properly tracked and managed
  • Certificates are linked to all relevant monitors
  • New certificates are identified and added to your inventory as they appear

​
Certificate monitoring

Keep track of your SSL/TLS certificates with these helpful features:
  • Automatic notifications when new certificates are discovered on your domains
  • Customizable expiration alerts that can be set anywhere from 1 to 60 days before expiry
  • Complete certificate inventory showing both active and historical certificates
  • Detailed certificate information including issuer, validity period, and domain coverage

​
Preventing certificate expiration issues

With Phare’s certificate monitoring, you can avoid the security warnings and outages that occur when certificates expire unexpectedly. Set a preferred notification schedule to get reminders when it’s time to renew, or when certbot fails to renew certificates.
