Alarm Notifications

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:

FieldDescription
Alarm nameThe rule that was triggered
SeverityINFO, WARNING, or CRITICAL
DeviceThe device whose telemetry triggered the alarm
Field & ValueThe telemetry field and value that crossed the threshold
TimestampWhen the alarm was triggered

Delivery

  1. The backend creates a notification record in the database
  2. The notification is broadcast via WebSocket to the user's browser session
  3. The bell icon badge in the navigation bar updates in real-time
  4. The notification appears in the dropdown and the Notification Center

Who Receives Notifications

  • ADMIN — Receives all alarm notifications within the tenant
  • ENGINEER — Receives all alarm notifications within the tenant
  • USER — Receives notifications for alarms related to their assigned dashboards

Future Notification Channels

Email and webhook notification delivery are planned features. Currently, all alarm notifications are delivered as in-app notifications via WebSocket.
