How to continuously monitor SSL certificates

One-off checks miss renewals and silent failures. Continuous monitoring means re-probing every domain on a schedule and reacting to change.

Run scheduled checks (hourly is plenty) against every monitored hostname and compare against the last known certificate fingerprint.

Detect changes: a new issuer, a shortened validity window, or an unexpected certificate appearing in CT logs.

Page the right channel automatically and keep a history so you can audit what changed and when.
