So the last couple of weeks I have noticed a progression of domains popping up with expired ssl notice on the dashboard. At first I didn’t pay a lot of attention until today it happened again on an important domain and only appeared on the expiration date of the ssl.

In each case I went to the “Manage Virtual Server > Setup SSL Certificate (possibly awkwardly labelled)” and was able to request a new certificate successfully.

My question is where I can see logs on why the daily renewal requests on these certs and why they failed. I have asked in other internal requests for my exposure to task logs as when something fails I am mostly clueless as to where to look for a resolution.

Thanks,
Andrew

Try the /var/webmin/miniserv.error, you can view in the System Log RS in webmin.

something similar/same? here. monitoring certificate expiries and lately a lot of them are 20d (or less) from expiry and not renewing…
did certbot’s renew_before_expiry days changed recently in virtualmin?
iirc, certbot uses 30d by default.
but run certbot renew manually and all certs got skipped.

Only thing I see there is an SSL key file /home/domainname/ssl.key does not exist for a domain that was renamed a few months ago. This though is probably related to another issue with that action (Change Domain Name) that I have ignored.

Just happened again this morning with another domain so I suspect the auto renewal task is just universally dead at the moment.
