hi,

> We recently got into a situation where our SP cert expired and we only found out the next morning when everyone was trying to login, yikes! We remedy the situation and monitoring the cert.


your Shibboleth/SAML cert expired, or your service cert
(apache/IIS/whatever) cert expired?

in terms of monitoring, know when your cert expires, you don't want to
only know when logs are showing you its expired.  stick expiry dates
in calendars AND run a monitoring tool that checks your certificate
expiry dates on public services (eg a NAGIOS plugin etc)
