Notifications are created by DomainScan when noticeable situations occur; such as detection of new devices or users or a scanning error on a device.
Furthermore, one can manually enable other notifications. One example is the event file, which DomainScan can check the size of, and create a notification if the size of the event file is larger than a given value.

Notifications can be seen in this utility, and device or user specific notifications can also be seen in the device or user information windows.

One can also forward notifications to a mail recipient, which can be set up in Mail forwarding.

In the overview page, all notifications can be seen.

One can double click on device and user notifications, and the device or user information window will appear.

Notifications from DomainScan (system notifications) cannot be double clicked, and these notifications are marked with a yellow circle.

Enable notifications
Set whether or not notifications are enabled.

Notification targets
With this matrix, one can decide where notifications are delivered.

There are three targets:

Information log	Notifications are stored internally in the DomainScan database, and can be seen in the information page in the main window.
Event file	Notifications are stored in the event.csv file (as long as the event file option is enabled in setup.
Mail	Notifications are also sent to one or more mail recipients. Recipients are to be defined in Mail forwarding

Furthermore, notifications are grouped by their origin, and can be one of the following:

Device notifications	Notifications that are created by a device.
User notifications	Notifications that are created by a user.
Domain notifications	Notifications that are created by a domain.
System notifications	Notifications that are created by DomainScan.
OK notifications	Notifications that are created by a Monitor, when an event has been cleared.
Task deadlines	Notifications that are created when a task deadline has been reached.

By default, the entire matrix is checked, but one can set the matrix as one desire.

Here, one can specify one or more mail recipient where notifications are to be sent.
Notifications are sent at the end of each scan cycle, and all notifications are placed in a single mail. An example can be seen below:

Example:

Notify if the service log is larger than
Set this option to let DomainScan check the size of the service log. If the size exceeds the given value, then a Notification will be created.

Notify if the event log is larger than
Set this option to let DomainScan check the size of the event log. If the size exceeds the given value, then a Notification will be created.

Notify when the amount of used license units has reaced # % of available license units
If this option is set, then DomainScan will check if the number of used license units exceeds the given value.

It is particular important to take care of license unit saturation problems, due to the fact that DomainScan will not function properly if all license units are used. For instance; new devices cannot be added to the database or monitors may fail to execute.
