How alarm triggers generate notifications and alerts
When an alarm rule triggers, it automatically creates a platform notification to alert relevant users.
What's Included
Each alarm notification contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Alarm name | The rule that was triggered |
| Severity | INFO, WARNING, or CRITICAL |
| Device | The device whose telemetry triggered the alarm |
| Field & Value | The telemetry field and value that crossed the threshold |
| Timestamp | When the alarm was triggered |
Delivery
- The backend creates a notification record in the database
- The notification is broadcast via WebSocket to the user's browser session
- The bell icon badge in the navigation bar updates in real-time
