How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNightly schedule fires the cert sweep
  • ActionShell: openssl-scan each host for days-to-expiryShell
  • LogicKeep only certs under the warning threshold
  • ActionUpsert a Trello card per expiring cert (dedupe by host)TrelloTrello
  • OutputEmit run summary of flagged certsTrelloTrello

What it does

Walks a list of hostnames, opens a TLS connection to each, reads the leaf certificate's notAfter date, and computes days remaining. Any cert inside the warning window becomes a tracked Trello card on your remediation board, deduplicated by hostname so re-running the sweep never spawns duplicate cards.

When to use it

When you own more than a handful of TLS endpoints and "we forgot to renew it" has bitten you before. Schedule it nightly so renewals always land with days to spare instead of as a 2 a.m. outage.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule fires the sweep.
  2. 2A shell step loops the host inventory running `openssl s_client` + `openssl x509 -enddate` per host, emitting hostname and days-to-expiry as JSON.
  3. 3A logic step keeps only hosts under the threshold (e.g. 30 days).
  4. 4For each remaining host, a Trello action upserts a card in the To Do list, titled with the hostname and days left, labeled by urgency.
  5. 5The flow outputs a run summary of how many certs were flagged.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect ShellRun sandboxed commands inside the workspace.
  2. 2
    Connect TrelloKanban boards for everything.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
