Domain monitoring
SSL, DNS, WHOIS, DMARC. Inside OpsMerge, not in a second vendor.
We got tired of paying a fourth vendor for the cert-expiry alert that nobody read. Domain monitoring is built into OpsMerge — server-side checks, scheduled jobs, dashboards alongside your tickets.
- Four check types
SSL, DNS, WHOIS, DMARC/SPF. Per-domain configuration, operator-tunable cadence.
- Server-side
Server-scheduled jobs. No agent involvement, no client-side cron, no missed checks because a workstation went to sleep.
- Alerts that work
In-app, email, ticket auto-creation on threshold breach. Webhook out post-GA.
What we check
The full lookup matrix.
- SSL — certificate validity, days-to-expiry, chain trust, SAN coverage
- DNS — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT records with change detection on NS and MX
- WHOIS — registrar, expiry date, registrar-lock monitoring, nameservers (RDAP-first)
- DMARC / SPF — record presence and DMARC policy
How it runs
Scheduled jobs, server-side.
- No agent involvement, no client-side cron, no missed checks because a workstation went to sleep.
- Failures surface in the operations dashboard with severity, last-good timestamp, and a click-through to the historical trend.
Alerting
Built into the same channels you already use.
- In-app alerts and dashboard tiles
- Email notifications via the gateway
- Ticket auto-creation on configurable thresholds (e.g., SSL <14 days)
- Webhook out (post-GA) for escalation to Teams / Slack / PagerDuty

Common questions
How often do checks run?
Default cadence varies by check type — SSL daily, DNS every six hours, WHOIS and DMARC/SPF daily. Operator-tunable.Do you check domains we do not host?
Yes. Any domain you can resolve via public DNS / WHOIS / SSL lookups. We do not need control of the domain to check it.What about wildcard certs and SAN coverage?
SSL check validates the cert presented for the queried hostname, including SAN coverage. Wildcard certs are covered.What DMARC and SPF checks do you run?
Record presence, syntax validity, the DMARC policy (none / quarantine / reject) and SPF alignment, with change alerting — in the same scheduled job as SSL, DNS and WHOIS.Can I bulk-import domains?
Yes. CSV import of domains per organisation.
