TLS Monitor

Proactive endpoint surveillance to ensure SSL/TLS certificate health and security compliance.

TLS Monitor

The TLS Monitor is a dedicated security tool designed to track the health of your HTTPS endpoints. Unlike basic uptime monitors, it performs deep cryptographic scans to ensure your SSL/TLS certificates are valid, up-to-date, and compliant with modern security standards.

Key Features

  • Expiration Tracking: Get real-time visibility into certificate expiry dates to prevent service downtime.
  • Protocol Version Verification: Ensures your servers are using secure versions (TLS 1.2, 1.3) and flags deprecated protocols (SSLv3, TLS 1.0/1.1).
  • Compliance Warnings: Automatically identifies non-compliant configurations based on GDPR and industry best practices.
  • Multi-Host Management: Centralized dashboard to manage and monitor dozens of domains simultaneously.

Dashboard Overview

The TLS Monitor table provides a comprehensive snapshot of your monitored hosts:

FieldDescription
HostnameThe full URL being monitored (e.g., https://api.yourdomain.com).
StatusThe result of the last automated check (Success/Failed).
TLS VersionThe specific protocol version currently served by the host.
Expire DateThe exact date when the current certificate will stop being valid.

Automated Alerts

The system will generate a "Warning" badge if the scan detects insecure cipher suites or upcoming expirations, allowing your team to rotate certificates before users are affected.

Configuration

To add a new monitor, simply provide a descriptive name and the full hostname. You can also assign Tags to organize monitors by environment (e.g., Production, Staging) or project.
