Track status of certificate automation requests

Follow these instructions and tips to track and monitor your automated certificate deployments in DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager.

Check status of a certificate lifecycle event

To check the status of a scheduled lifecycle automation event for a certificate:

  1. From the Trust Lifecycle Manager main menu, select Inventory > Endpoints.

  2. Use the inventory view functions to display the applicable certificate deployment. To view only those certificates with an automation event scheduled, filter inventory by the Automation status column and select Automation scheduled.

  3. Use one of the following options to view the automation event status for a certificate in the inventory table:

    • Select the icon in the rightmost table column.

    • Select the endpoint Location to view the details for it. Then select the Automation tab to view the automation configuration, and from there select the See automation request details link.

    Both options open a sidebar on the right with the automation event status and details.

Check status of bulk automation requests

To check automation event status for the certificates in a bulk automation job:

  1. From the Trust Lifecycle Manager main menu, select Inventory > Endpoints.

  2. Use the inventory view functions to display all the certificates in the bulk automation job:

    1. If the Job name column is not shown, use the Add column button on the top-right to add it.

    2. Filter by the Job name column and select the name of the applicable bulk automation job.

  3. After filtering by job name, only certificates included in that bulk automation job are listed. Use one of the following options to view the automation event status for any of the certificates:

    • Select the icon in the rightmost table column.

    • Select the endpoint Location to view the details for it. Then select the Automation tab to view the automation configuration, and from there select the See automation request details link.

    Both options open a sidebar on the right with the automation event status and details.

Notifications, monitoring, and reporting

Additional options for tracking lifecycle events for automated certificate deployments:

  • Set up account-wide notifications to send email alerts about all certificate lifecycle automation events in your account.

  • Set up custom alerts for a specific certificate automation profile in the Additional options > Email configuration and notifications section of the profile configuration wizard.

  • Use your account dashboard to monitor and launch pre-filtered views of automated certificates requiring attention due to expiration, automation status, or security-related issues.

  • Use the reporting functions to generate custom reports about assets under managed automation.
