IT OPS

Certificate and Secret Inventory Snapshot to Postgres

Collects all TLS certs and rotating secrets across sources into a normalized daily snapshot in Postgres, building an expiry history you can query and chart for trend reporting.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionUpsert dated rows into Postgres snapshot tablePostgreSQLPostgres
  • OutputPost expiry-bucket rollup to SlackSlack

What it does

Aggregates certificate and secret metadata from your Cloudflare zones and a tracked secrets manifest, normalizes it into a single schema, and writes a dated snapshot row per credential to Postgres. Over time this produces a queryable history of expiry dates, rotation ages, and how the estate is trending.

When to use it

When you need reporting and dashboards rather than just alerts — for example, a quarterly board metric on credential hygiene, or a Grafana panel showing how many certs are within 30 days of expiry over time. The Postgres table becomes the source of truth other tools read from.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule kicks off the snapshot job.
  2. 2The flow pulls certificate packs from Cloudflare and the secrets inventory manifest from S3.
  3. 3It normalizes both sources into a common record: resource, type, owner, expiry, days remaining.
  4. 4Each record is upserted into a Postgres `cert_secret_snapshots` table keyed by date and resource.
  5. 5A short rollup query counts items by expiry bucket and posts the daily totals to Slack so trends are visible without opening a dashboard.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect CloudflareWorkers, Pages, R2, KV — the edge stack.
  2. 2
    Connect AWS S3Buckets, objects, signed URLs.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
