# Notification to Alert the Expiry of Each Certificate Within the Management Plane

## Problem

In Airgapped environment following certificate management notifications would be helpful to reduce the downtime related to certificate expiry issues:

1. Notification/event prior to expiry for each \[Hostagent, Sunpike, and Cluster] certificates, within details of corresponding number of days left. So customer can set the remediation steps as Major/Critical tasks to avoid down time.
2. Currently for renewal the step is to restart PMK stack on all nodes which will require node to be brought down first (Out of Service requiring traffic to be taken off first), as restart of pods with no replica could cause some service impact. Can this be just done on Management Plane so the procedure could be safely done with node In Service/with live traffic.

## Environment

* Platform9 Edge Cloud - v5.3 and Higher

## Answer

The Platform9 Team is planning to introduce this feature in the upcoming SMCP release.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/smcp/frequently-asked-questions/notification-to-alert-the-expiry-of-each-certificate-within-the.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
