By pure good luck I was in work very early so I got moving on a new cert. and having done that, I headed off to my Nagios status page because I was pretty sure that I had a check for this cert. in place. Sure enough, I did, but Nagios wasn't displaying an alert for its expiry, nor had it warned me that it was about to expire.

What plugin are you using ? it could be that the text returned from the 
check includes the Critical string but the execution exit code is 0 and 
hence translated as OK by nagios .
