Snitch Integration Guide

Snitch is an SSL auditing, monitoring and alerting service. Snitch audits your SSL certificates for expiration, revocation and modification – alerting you to issues before your customers are impacted. You’ll get an expiration warning at 90 days, 30 days, 15 days and 7 days. After that, you’ll get daily alerts until you renew your certificate or stop the snitch. Additionally, Snitch audits certificates by verifying that they aren’t revoked, that an intermediate certificate isn’t revoked, that the certificate is valid for the monitored domain and that the certificate isn’t modified – a sign of tampering or a misconfigured web server.

You can set up Snitch alerts to trigger new PagerDuty incidents using the PagerDuty API.
