Email Notifications | InsightIDR Documentation

By default, InsightIDR sends you email notifications any time there is an alert or a data collection issue, such as an inactive Collector. You can turn the email notifications on or off from the Settings menu.

Manage Email Notifications

To manage your email notifications:

1. In InsightIDR, go to the left menu and click Settings.
2. Select User Preferences. Under Communication Preferences, turn Email Notifications on or off for the following:
   • Investigations: Enable this when you want to send email notifications when new investigations are created and when the investigation’s assignee is updated. If you are an Admin, you can also configure email notifications to send when a collector is offline for 15 minutes.
   • Managed Alerts: Enable this when you want to send email notifications when new managed alerts are created that are not part of an investigation.
   • Custom and Contextual Alerts: Enable this when you want to send email notifications when new custom and contextual alerts are created that are not part of an investigation.
   • Informational-priority Alerts: Enable this when you want to send email notifications when new informational-priority alerts are created that are not part of an investigation.
