Notifications and reports

Channels, rules, daily digests and scheduled fleet reports.

Open Notifications in the sidebar (permission settings:read to view, settings:write to change).

Channels

A channel says where messages go: e-mail (SMTP with STARTTLS, implicit TLS or none), a signed webhook, ntfy or Gotify. Passwords, keys and tokens are stored encrypted and never returned. Send test delivers a test message and shows the error if it fails.

Rules

A rule says what and to whom: a list of events, a minimum severity, channels, an optional scope of host groups, and for e-mail the recipient roles plus extra addresses. It is immediate or a daily digest sent at a chosen UTC hour (or with Send digest now).

SeverityEvents
CriticalHost quarantined; host unresponsive after planned downtime; host not back after reboot
HighTask failed; patch rolled back
MediumHost offline; patch awaiting approval
InfoPatch applied; reboot scheduled, started, completed

Successful scans are not notified. Failed deliveries are retried five times with growing delays, and History lists every delivery.

Reports

Rules tell you when something happens. A report is a summary of the fleet built when it is sent, on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, even if nothing happened.

Under Notifications > Reports, set a name, a language (French or English), a schedule with its time zone, where to send it and what to include: the fleet summary, updates waiting per machine, patch history, failures and missed patch days, reboots required, each policy's next patch day and container images with a newer version. You can limit it to some groups and skip sending when empty. Preview shows it formatted or plain; Send now sends it at once. A failed send is retried and raises a report.failed event.

E-mail goes as plain text plus HTML; other channels get the text version.

Webhooks

Each webhook is signed with HMAC-SHA256. See Notifications internals for the format and how to verify it.
