The motivation for this issue it is adding support for checking PEM files that can be fetched from a url, and check the expiration. For example, there are CA that provides Verified Mark Certificate to accomplish BIMI protocol, and can host the pem and the logo in their infrastructure, providing you an url to configure the DNS Records.
Doing a quick research, and although there are other exporters that have this functionality, but x509-certificate-exporter is by far the most widely used exporter in k8s to check certificates. And in terms of maintainability, less components is better.
Said that, I'm offering to work on this and prepare a PR, but first I'd like to know with the maintainers, if this functionally will be welcome or not.
