10 months ago - I kind of disagree that this would make a good monitor: monitors are supposed to monitor something and not act as just a calendar reminder ⇒ Check if it is alive by a machine. Your monitor offloads this part to a human, which is likely not desirable.
- Domain expiration is tracked in #944. For the software expiration you either get an email anyway that this is expiring, this is on autorenewal or you track this in your accounting software
If you disagree, you can still contribute such a monitor and see if Louis accepts/recects it. Here is our contribution guide: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
An example-pr that implements a monitor according to our new syntax (not just piling anything into monitor.js) can be found here: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3178 or https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3308
