Description

What would you like to be added or improved?

When attempting to request a Let'sEncrypt SSL certificate, if there is an issue - the screen will quickly display a red alert at the top of the page. It only displays for a few seconds. It would be nice if there was an easy method of accessing or having that error message accessed via a log or text box.

Why is it needed?

When the creation or renewal of a SSL Cert has failed, sometimes I cannot read the entire alert before it disappears. It would be nice if I can reference the alert message in a log or scrolling text-box of all SSL issues (even the successful ones!)

Research direction

Start by locating the Let's Encrypt certificate creation and renewal flow and the code that displays the temporary red alert. Determine how certificate failures and successful operations can be retained and surfaced in the interface; done means users can review SSL certificate messages after the alert disappears.
