How to debug/trace auto-renewal process of certificates

[schoenr79]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to trace/debug the auto-renewal process of existing certificates. because last time a renewal wasn"t triggered, so the cert expired.

• Is there a way how to debug and trace this process
• is it possible to tirgger a cert-renew manual? / API-Call etc.

best regards
Roland

Acmebot is the same as regular Azure Functions, so you can trace and debug it from Application Insights.

Manual renewal can be done on a per-certificate basis via /renew-certificate, or you can manually trigger the function RenewCertificates_Timer to renew all certificates that are close to expiring.

In rare cases, Azure Functions timer triggers may not be executed, in which case, restarting from Azure Portal will improve the situation.
