Notifications

Vulinder delivers scan completions, newly discovered vulnerabilities, threat news, and runtime events as notifications. This document explains how to see notifications inside the app. Configuring delivery to external channels (Slack, Discord) is covered in Notification channels.

Permissions

Creating or editing notification settings requires an administrator or manager role. Regular members can view notifications but cannot change the settings.

Where to see them​

  • Header notification bell : The bell icon at the top of the screen shows the number of unread notifications. Click it to see recent notifications.
  • [Unified notifications] : See notifications from across the entire organization on one screen. Each notification also shows which service it came from.
  • Per-service [Security alerts] : Open a specific service to see only the notifications limited to that service.

Notification severity​

Notifications are split into two levels.

  • Info : News about normal progress, such as a scan completing.
  • Important : News that needs your attention, such as a scan failure, a confirmed real-world exploit, or a runtime security event.

What becomes a notification​

NotificationWhen
Scan completed / failedWhen an analysis finishes or fails
New vulnerabilityWhen a rescan finds an item that was not present before
Threat newsWhen a component you own is confirmed as actively exploited (KEV) (Security news)
Runtime eventWhen a runtime security event is detected on a server (Runtime monitoring)

Marking as read​

Notifications you have seen are marked as read and removed from the unread count on the header bell.
