@habeebshk this information is now only shown in cert-manager controller logs, eg:

I0727 15:23:13.413745   17988 sync.go:207] Certificate default/kgz-cert scheduled for renewal in 1438 hours

@kragniz hey thanks for that, can you comment the command on how to check the cert-manager controller logs, i tried finding it online but nothing useful. Thanks

[kragniz]

something like

kubectl logs -n your-namespace -l app=cert-manager -c cert-manager

replacing your-namespace with the namespace you deployed cert-manager to

We should update the migrating from kube-lego guide accordingly with this info.

Related to #742 - because we should still surface this information to users somehow, even if it is not through Events.

The event on the Cerificate is from cert-manager; not kube-lego. From the screenshots, it looks like events have changed recently (from 0.3 to 0.5)?

Got really confused by this as well; made the above PR =)
