Oh, one of my pet peeves, certificates that expires unexpectedly. Because no they don't, you know damn well when the certificate expires from the moment it is issued and there is literally no need to monitor anything, you just need a calendar.
The reasons for not doing this can be organizational (shared calendars are a pain), laziness, lack of documentation (we know it expired, but we don't know/remember how to update it) or task overload (the new certificate solved an incident likely because the previous instance expired without warning and now it is past office hours and everyone goes home and tomorrow there's a different incident, so no one follows up, repeat next year).
Granted, I've been guilty of all of those, but a calendar should be all that you need.
100% agree in theory! A calendar should be enough, but human nature and silent auto-renew failures always win. This is basically an automated safety net to save future-me from current-me. ๐
You're right, a calendar won't save you from auto-renewal failures. My pet peeve might be outdated ๐ฌ
