Monitor Your First Certificate

Move from installation to useful expiration visibility in six straightforward steps.

Before you begin: Make sure the endpoint is reachable from your Android device over Wi-Fi, mobile data, or VPN as appropriate.
  1. Install CertStat

    Download Certificate Expiry Tracker from Google Play and open the app.

  3. Configure the port if needed

    Use the standard HTTPS port when appropriate, or enter the custom port used by a NAS interface, reverse proxy, router, internal application, or development service.

  4. Review certificate details

    Check the certificate status, issuer, common name, validity duration, expiry date, remaining days, and available TLS security details.

  5. Configure expiration alerts

    Enable notifications and choose warning, critical, and red alert thresholds that leave enough time for your renewal workflow.

  6. Organize monitored endpoints

    Create groups based on customer, project, environment, team, or infrastructure type. Endpoints can remain ungrouped when a group is not useful.
