Notifications
On the Notifications page, you will find all notifications generated from exceeding notification conditions. The notification conditions determine when notifications are created and are defined separately for each performance point.
Alerts, warnings and informatives
The notifications have three different severity levels.
Severity level | Icon | Identity color |
---|---|---|
Alert | Red | |
Warning | Orange | |
Informative | Blue |
