Notification routing by severity (Email + Push)
Avoid inbox overload and stay focused on what matters. Telmetra's email and push notifications help sysadmins, MSPs, and IT operators route alerts by severity — ensuring critical issues reach you, while routine noise stays out of your way.
Answer first
The goal of alerting is simple: route actionable issues to the right place and keep noise out of the inbox.
Quick steps
- Open Settings → Notification Settings
- Enable Critical email delivery (leave Info/Warning off unless you truly need them)
- Optionally enable Push Notifications for real-time pings
Start here for the broader alerting strategy:
Notification Settings at a Glance
The Notification Settings dialog provides two independent delivery paths:
- Push Notifications
- Toggle browser push delivery for new alerts
- Status banner confirms when push is enabled
- Email Notifications
- Choose which severity levels are delivered to your inbox:
- Info
- Warning
- Critical
- Choose which severity levels are delivered to your inbox:
What You Can Do Here
- Enable or disable browser push delivery for alerts
- Select which alert severities (if any) are delivered by email
- Scope email traffic to high-urgency events only
Configure Email Notifications
Under Email Notifications, select one or more severities to receive:
- Info – Low-priority notifications, e.g., completed background tasks
- Warning – Mid-level alerts that may require attention
- Critical – High-priority issues needing immediate action
Selections take effect immediately and can be toggled as needed.
Push Delivery Control
In the Push Notifications section, use the toggle to enable browser-based alerts.
Once enabled, you’ll see a green confirmation banner stating that push is active — this means your browser will deliver real-time alert pings even without email enabled.
2-Minute Workflow: Enable Inbox Delivery for Critical Alerts
- Open the Telmetra Web Console
- Navigate to Settings → Notification Settings
- Under Email Notifications, check Critical
- Leave Info and Warning unchecked
- Close the dialog
✅ Result: Critical alerts will now be delivered via email; your inbox stays focused.

FAQ
How do I receive only critical alerts by email?
Open Notification Settings, then check Critical and uncheck Info and Warning under Email Notifications.
How do I stop all inbox alerts?
Uncheck all severities under Email Notifications: Info, Warning, and Critical.
Where do I confirm that push is enabled?
In Notification Settings, a green banner will appear above the toggle when push is successfully enabled.
Does enabling push also send email alerts?
No — push and email are managed separately. Use the toggle for push, and the checkboxes for email.
