Certificate Check Report Card accumulates statistics on the certificate expiration date of the selected hostnames. To create a Certificate Check Report Card, from the left sidebar menu select Reports, and select Shareable Report Cards > New Card > Certificate Check.
The report data is provided for the last 24-hour period and updates automatically. Certificates that have the validity period less than the set validity threshold are highlighted in red on the report card.
To receive the most recent statistics, you can update the report card manually at any time by using the refresh button on the report card toolbar. To switch between night and day report card layout, use the theme button on the report card toolbar.
The report card can be shared with other users on the Internet by copying and pasting the unique GUID-based URL into an email or other document. By default, all users on the Internet can access the report card via the unique GUID-based URL.
Security
Unique URLs that are generated for each report card are secured by several means (discussed below), and unless specifically exposed by the service owner, are unavailable to the general public. You can check and change your dashboard accessibility status under Reports > Shareable Report Cards.
Access to the Report Card
Once a report card is created, it is assigned a global unique identifier (GUID), for example, “B5BB0BEEA67E47648F27B5F634EDD75C”. This randomized GUID makes it virtually impossible to find the report card unless it is specifically shared, or published, where it can be viewed.
By default, all users on the Internet can access the report card via the URL that is automatically generated for the report card.
Restrict Access
You can restrict access to the report card in the shareable report card settings so only users of your Dotcom-Monitor account will be able to open the URL and view the report card data.
Revoke Access
If you want to revoke access to a specific report card, you can go to the Shareable Report Cards manager, and reset GUID from the report card actions menu.

Access: Select who can use the card URL to access the data online. By default, all users on the Internet can access the report card via the URL (the Anyone with the link option).

Once a new report card is created, you can copy the link to the report card from the card actions menu within the Shareable Report Cards screen or the card preview screen. For other actions available for report cards, see Dashboard Manager.
