Monitoring Certificates in Azure
Take full control and proactively monitor your Azure Certificates with Nodinite. Instantly detect ageing certificates, automate discovery, and empower your team to act before issues impact your business—all without direct Azure portal access.
✅ Instantly detect and receive alerts for ageing certificates
✅ Automate discovery and monitoring of all Azure Certificates
✅ Empower your team with secure, role-based access
✅ Take action with remote commands and proactive alerts
Nodinite keeps you informed and in control of your Certificates, ensuring you always act before problems arise.
This page explains how Nodinite monitors Certificates from one or more role-based Monitor Views. Nodinite tracks the age of Certificates and lets you manage monitoring thresholds. You can use remote commands as Actions to swiftly resolve issues. Find details about Remote Actions on the Managing Certificate page.
Example: Monitored Certificates in a Nodinite Monitor View.
Monitoring Features
- State Evaluation – Instantly assess certificate health based on policy.
If Nodinite cannot check your Certificate state, no one else can use them either.
- Automatic Discovery – Nodinite Azure Agent uses the Azure Rest API to automatically present Certificates.
- Category-based Monitoring – Group monitored Resources by Nodinite Categories.
- Role-based Access – Share access to individual items using Monitor Views.
State Evaluation for Certificates
Nodinite presents each Certificate as a Resource. For example, if you have three Certificates, you see three Resources in Nodinite.
- The Nodinite Resources name matches the deployed Certificate name.
- Monitored Certificates belong to the 'Certificate' Category.
Many other Azure-related Categories exist. Review the Azure Logging and Monitoring Overview.
- The Application name uses the pattern:
Configuration name/Resource Group Name.
Each item (shown as a Resource) receives a state (OK, Warning, Error, Unavailable) based on evaluation.
You can override the evaluation process by configuring the Expected State option for any Nodinite [Resource][].
Certificate
For Certificate Resources, Nodinite evaluates state as follows:
| State | Status | Description | Actions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unavailable | Resource not available |
|
Review prerequisites | |
| Error | Error threshold breached | Certificate is about to expire or has expired | Edit | |
| Warning | Warning threshold breached | Certificate is about to expire or has expired | Edit | |
| OK | Within user-defined thresholds | Details |
Alert History for Certificate
Nodinite enables you to analyze alert history for your Certificates. During root cause analysis, you can search for historical state changes for any time span, either for all Certificates or individually, if your Monitor View allows it. Learn more in the Add or manage Monitor View guide.
