Live. This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

Goal

Explain where notifications fit relative to operations alerts and resource detail pages.

Prerequisites

  • A signed-in account

Workflow

1
Use notifications for account-level awareness.
2
Use operations alerts for platform health prioritization.

Notifications versus alerts

Notifications are part of the account experience. Operations alerts are the platform-health prioritization surface. They overlap, but they do not serve the same job.

When to use each surface

  • Use notifications when you want account-level awareness of product activity.
  • Use operations alerts when you are triaging runtime or platform problems.
  • Use resource detail pages when you need the full evidence for one workload or node.

What the notification settings and inbox include

  • Pause duration and quiet-hours controls
  • Delivery-channel configuration for email and Slack webhook behavior
  • A searchable inbox with read state, category filters, and navigation into the relevant resource or operations page

Expected result

Notifications and operational alerts are not confused for each other.
