Dashboard

The Dashboard is the main screen that greets you when you log in to SSL Chef. On this screen, you can see the most critical information about your account at a glance and take quick actions.

Overview Cards

The Dashboard screen features information cards that summarize the current state of your SSL certificate management:

Certificates Due for Renewal

Shows the number of certificates that are about to expire or are due for renewal. This card allows you to instantly identify which certificates require immediate attention.

If the number of certificates due for renewal is greater than zero, it is recommended to review the related certificates. Although SSL Chef handles automatic renewal, checking this card ensures that processes are running smoothly.

Valid Certificates

Shows the total number of your certificates that are currently active and valid. This number provides a general overview of certificates successfully managed by SSL Chef.

Balance

Displays the current balance on your account. Your balance is used for creating new orders and automatic renewal operations.

Check your balance regularly. Automatic renewal operations may remain pending if your balance is insufficient.

Total Domains

Shows the total number of domains registered to your account.

Total Connections

Shows the number of active connections defined in the system.

Pending Orders

Shows the number of orders waiting to be processed. These orders are typically pending due to insufficient balance or awaiting DCV validation.

Recent Activity

The lower section of the Dashboard screen lists recent activities on your account. Through this list, you can:

  • View recently created orders
  • Track recently renewed certificates
  • Spot failed or attention-requiring operations

Quick Access

From the Dashboard, you can quickly access frequently used operations:

  • Create new order — Go directly to the order creation screen
  • Add funds — Quickly initiate a balance top-up
  • Add domain — Add a new domain
  • Add connection — Define a new server connection
The Dashboard serves as a summary of all your operations in SSL Chef. By checking it daily, you can ensure that your certificate management is running smoothly.
