ACME client - send email after renewal?

[skywalker007]

Anyone got a hint for me?
I use the ACME client to manage a number of certificates.
I would like to have an automation that sends me an email when a particular certificate has been renewed.
Any idea how to do that?
I thought about using monit in any way for that but have no clue how.
Thanks for any hint.

You and me both!

Without trying to be mean, really this is a good opportunity to learn how monit does its thing.
I had the same need, how do I do "something" with monit. I spent a few days with the manual https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html and seeing how they would translate to the UI. I was able to acomplish my goal.
May I suggest to try the "File Content Test" as your "Service Test"?

There's the acme plugin's automation commands.
These sadly do not allow for running a local custom script (a security decision AIUI). But you can trigger a remote script (via ssh) following a certificate renewal. I currently do this to reload services on remote hosts, but you could also fire off an email from the remote host.

I approach this issue the other way round. I monitor all my applications with Uptime Kuma and I get a notification whenever a certificate is short of expiring.

Kind regards,

I do something similar with icinga. The OP wants a notification when the cert has renewed.
I noticed in the acme automation options that there was not an option to run an adhoc local script.
But it just dawned on me, you could use 'remote command via ssh' to localhost to achieve the same.
