Push Notification Certificate alerting

[aunderwood]

There is a notification in the Jamf Pro console showing that the Push Notification cert will expire in x days, but I can't find the option to send me an email to prompt me to take action. I do not live in the Jamf console!

If this does not exist, does anyone have any suggestions for implementing a reminder/alert/notification externally to Jamf? 

Thanks!

Set a reminder or a calendar event would be the obvious solutions. Jamf assumes you access the console regularly, which is honestly a reasonable assumption and provides the notifications 30 days in advance.

Thank you for responding! 

Following that logic, why are there options to send email alerts on VPP Token expiry or way less critical things like a computer is enrooled using prestage? Just seems strange to me. (And don't get me wrong, I do think that all of these things and more should be optional alerts). It is conceivable that an admin has everything nicely automated, and receives few requests for changes, so might not need to access the console for months at a time. 

A calendar event just seems unnecessarily manual and inelegant, but if that is the only option, so be it.

Jamf Pro won’t notify you but Apple will. They’ll send an email to the Apple Account used to create the push token 30 days before it expires. If you don’t routinely monitor that account, consider forwarding its mail to an account you do monitor.

You can also renew the push cert any time before it expires (e.g. every quarter or half year) to extend it another full year.
