## Introduction

For this section we will assign a domain name to our Monitoring server and install a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate using Certbot

**Note:** In a later tutorial we will negate the need for this certificate by sending traffic through Cloudflare which assigns their own SSL certificate.
{% endhint %}

## Pre-requisites
