Maintaining Certificate Manager
Perform regular maintenance tasks to ensure that Certificate Manager successfully performs scheduled activities on all the targeted endpoints and does not overuse endpoint or network resources. If Certificate Manager is not performing as expected, you might need to troubleshoot issues or change settings.
Perform monthly maintenance
- From the Main menu, go to Modules > Certificate Manager > Overview.
- In the Overview section, review the Certificate Manager Endpoint Coverage panel for endpoints with the Needs Attention status.
- To investigate issues, see Monitor and troubleshoot Certificate Manager Coverage.
- To troubleshoot other Certificate Manager issues, see Troubleshooting Certificate Manager.
