6. NotificationsΒΆ

The nBox UI is able to notify the administrator about activities including:

  • users starting and stopping applications and services
  • software failures

This happens by logging events which are exported to external syslog servers. These logs can be ingested by ntopng and notified via any notification endpoint supported by ntopng, including Messaging Systems (e.g. Telegram, Slack, etc.) email, webhooks, and many others.

This requires the syslog format to be configured to JSON in the Notifications preferences. The ntopng address (including the port used for listening for syslog logs) should be also configured.

Please check the ntopng documentation for further information about ingesting events from nBox UI through syslog and configuring the Notification endpoints.
