Adding an SSL certificate
Add the TLS endpoints you care about, and JOATOS fetches and tracks their certificates — issuer, common name, and expiry — checking them daily.
Adding a certificate
- Select SSL Certificates in the sidebar, then Add certificate.
- Fill in:
- Friendly name (optional) — e.g. Main website
- Hostname (required) — a domain or IP, e.g. example.com
- Port (optional) — defaults to 443
- Notes (optional)
- Save. JOATOS immediately connects to the endpoint and reads the live certificate, then keeps checking it daily.
The certificates list
The list shows each endpoint as host:port, plus the certificate's common name, issuer, expiry (colour-coded badge), and last checked time — sorted by soonest expiry. Stat cards summarise totals, valid, expiring-soon, and check errors, and banners flag anything expired, expiring soon, or failing its check.
Re-checking on demand
Open a certificate and select Refresh to fetch it live right now, rather than waiting for the daily check. The detail page shows the certificate's validity, days remaining, and last-checked time.
Notes & tips
- Add both public sites and internal services (by hostname or IP and port) — anything speaking TLS can be tracked.
- A Check failed status usually means the endpoint was unreachable or isn't serving a certificate on that port.
