Alert Notifications
KeySafe 5 can notify administrators when alerts are triggered through three complementary channels: the WebUI, email, and webhooks. Each method is independent and can be used on its own or in combination.
Notification methods are configured per trigger as methods. For details on creating and managing triggers, see Trigger management.
WebUI Notifications
The KeySafe 5 WebUI displays alert notifications directly in the browser. No additional configuration is required; notifications appear automatically when alerts are triggered.
Alerts are surfaced via the bell icon in the toolbar, and on the resource page for the specific resource that triggered the alert. For details on viewing, acknowledging, and deleting alerts in the WebUI, see Alerts.
Email Notifications
KeySafe 5 can send alert notifications to a specified email address when an alert is triggered.
To use email notifications, an SMTP server must first be configured. For details on SMTP configuration see the KeySafe 5 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Once the SMTP server is configured, each trigger method can specify a recipient email address to receive notifications for that trigger.
Webhook Notifications
KeySafe 5 can send alert notifications to an external HTTP endpoint when an alert is triggered. This enables integration with third-party systems such as incident management tools.
Webhook notifications are configured per-method on a trigger; each method specifies the target URL that will receive the alert payload.
The webhook payload is sent as an HTTP POST request in JSON format. For details on the payload schema, see the KeySafe 5 API documentation.
