Monitor

The Monitor centralizes real-time observability of the certificate lifecycle. It's split into two tabs: Certificate Lifecycle and Job Monitor.


Certificate Lifecycle tab

Shows all certificate lifecycle events — issuance, renewal, revocation, and installation to Stores. The page updates automatically and can be manually reloaded with Refresh.

Event History

Chronological feed of all events. Use the filters to refine the view:

FilterWhat it shows
AllAll lifecycle events
RenewalsCertificate renewal events
InstallationsStore installation events
CleanupPost-installation cleanup events

Each row in the feed shows:

ColumnDescription
EventEvent type, e.g. digicert_renew_issued, store_install_completed
DomainDomain of the affected certificate
Statussuccess, in_progress, pending, error
SourceEvent origin: worker (automatic), user (manually triggered)

Event Details

Clicking View opens a side panel showing:

  • Event Type and Status
  • General Information — domain, source, creation and completion date/time
  • Event Data — JSON payload with technical event information (e.g. CA type, order ID, certificate ID, previous certificate ID)
  • Technical Information — internal Event ID and Certificate ID

Scheduled Renewals

Click Scheduled Renewals to see all certificates with automatic renewal configured and their upcoming schedules:

ColumnDescription
CertificateCertificate name and associated CA
DomainCertificate domain
ExpiresExpiration date
Days LeftDays remaining until expiration (negative = already expired)
ThresholdHow many days before expiration the renewal will be triggered
StatusScheduled (waiting for the threshold) or Due Now (renewal overdue)
Last AttemptDate and time of the last renewal attempt
ActionsRenew Now to force an immediate renewal; link icon to open the certificate
Due Now status
Certificates with **Due Now** status have already passed the renewal threshold without succeeding. Use **Renew Now** to force an immediate attempt and check the event history to identify the cause of the failure.

Job Monitor tab

Tracks background jobs in progress and messages that failed all retry attempts. The screen updates automatically every 15–30 seconds.

Active Jobs

Lists jobs that are in progress or waiting to run:

ColumnDescription
Job IDUnique job identifier
QueueProcessing queue, e.g. Acme, DigiCert
Domain/DetailsJob domain or details
StatusPending, Processing, Completed, Failed
RetriesNumber of attempts made
CreatedWhen the job was created
ActionsButton to cancel/delete the job

Dead Letter Queue

Jobs that failed all retry attempts end up in the Dead Letter Queue. For each job you can:

  • Retry — put the job back in the queue for another attempt
  • Delete — permanently remove the job
To understand why a job ended up in the Dead Letter Queue, check the corresponding events in the **Certificate Lifecycle → Event History** tab, filtering by the affected domain.
