Web certificate expiration can also be monitored if scheduled health monitoring is enabled - see:enable_health_monitoring. The health email will then show this message.

If a Web Certificate has expired, the notice on the status displays:

WEB CERT EXPIRED AT: 2014-09-26 11:30:02

Once the certificate is expired, the system can be used as normal, but the certificate will be expired and for non self-signed certificates (like a Godaddy or Thawte certificates), the data will no longer be properly encrypted.
