Monitor Cloudflare with MrCron

MrCron tracks Cloudflare SSL certificate expiry, DNS zone health, and edge request volume every 5 minutes so you catch expiring certs and DNS drift before your users do.

How MrCron monitors Cloudflare

  • SSL certificate expiry alerts with amber warning inside the last 30 days.
  • DNS zone health check per zone.
  • Edge request volume for the last 24 hours per zone.
  • Auth-failure detection with an amber Rotate key CTA when the API token stops working.
  • Alert rules that fire on SSL expiry via any notification channel.

What you will see

SSL expiry alerts, DNS zone health, edge request volume.

Auth flow: API Key. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never returned to your browser.

Frequently asked questions

What Cloudflare credentials does MrCron need?
A scoped API token with Zone Read plus SSL and Certificates Read permissions. Never use a global API key. MrCron stores it encrypted at rest.
How early does MrCron warn about SSL expiry?
The default warning window is 30 days. Configure an alert rule on the cloudflare_cert_days_until_expiry metric with your own threshold.
Does MrCron edit DNS records?
No. MrCron reads DNS zone metadata only. Every write to your Cloudflare account happens in the Cloudflare UI, not through MrCron.
Can I attach multiple Cloudflare accounts?
Yes. Each project can carry its own Cloudflare integration. Add one integration per account or per zone as needed.
