[Feature]: Certificate expiry check should be configurable

See original GitHub issue

🏷️ Feature Request Type

Other

🔖 Feature description

#781 adds TLS/SSL certificate expiry check, but it is not configurable in any way.

I am using step-ca as internal PKI, were certificates expire every 24h (good certificates die young), and are auto-renewed via ACME.

This means that every day, when my certificates change, I get a torrent of notifications for every service I am monitoring.

✔️ Solution

User should be able to disable certificate expiry notifications (especially where certificate renewal is handled automatically), but notification should still be there where certificate is expired (unless Ignore TLS/SSL error for HTTPS websites is checked of course).

Hi. +1 on the idea of having notifications X days before expiry. I would actually be great to have a view with the list of all SSL Certificates and their expiry dates. I think this feature would make the app a one-stop shop for all standard monitoring needs, perfect for a lot of orgs.

Would be nice to set the notification period. I auto-renew my certificates between 14 and 7 days before expiry, so I would like to set the first time to be notified to 6 days.
