Certificate Monitoring Overview

Administrators must be able to track and renew certificates when Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service services contain automated systems. Certificate Monitoring helps administrators know the certificate status on an ongoing basis and email you when a certificate is approaching expiration.

Certificate Monitoring Configuration

The Cisco Certificate Expiry Monitor network service must be running. By default, this service is enabled, but you can confirm if the service is running in Cisco Unified Serviceability application by choosing Tools > Control Center - Network Services and verifying that the Cisco Certificate Expiry Monitor Service status is Running.

Procedure

Step 1

From the Cisco Unified OS Administration, Choose Security > Certificate Monitor

Step 2

Enter or choose the configuration details.

Step 3

Click Save to save the configuration.

Note

 

By default, the certificate monitor service runs once every 24 hours. When you restart the certificate monitor service, it starts the service and then calculates the next schedule to run only after 24 hours. The interval doesn't change even when the certificate is close to the expiry date of seven days. It runs every one hour when the certificate either has expired or is going to expire in one day.
