Browser Notifications

InsightIDR now works with an API native to your browser in order to allow notifications. You will see a pop up window that asks for permission to show notifications. Click Allow to receive notifications.

As long as you have InsightIDR open on any tab in your browser, you will see a message indicating that a notification—for example, a data collection issue—has happened and needs your attention.

These notifications will also be available in your Notification Center/Area.
