Indeed, a CT monitor which sends alerts about legitimate certificates is almost useless due to noise. My service, Cert Spotter, provides an API endpoint[1] which you can upload your CSRs to, so you don't get alerted about certificates using the same key as the CSR. The open source version of Cert Spotter can invoke a script[2] when a certificate is discovered, and the script can cross reference against a list of legitimate certs.

Could it check against public key for the certificate?


Yes, the script can consult the $PUBKEY_SHA256 environment variable to get the hash of the certificate's public key.
