Managing Notifications

Notifications in Acunetix 360 allow you to stay informed about important events, such as scan statuses and detected vulnerabilities.

By default, there are some built-in notifications that can be cloned and edited. If you want to create a brand new notification rather than clone an existing one, refer to Creating notifications. There is a separate document for technology notifications that describes how to turn specific technology notifications on or off, and how to manage built-in, out-of-date notifications.

This document provides instructions on managing and customizing notifications to ensure you receive the correct alerts. It covers:

How to view all notifications

  1. Select Notifications > Manage Notifications from the left-side menu.
  2. Review the list to see all configured alerts, including their status, triggering event, and target scope.

  1. Search for the desired notification or use the filters to narrow down the results. Filtering options include:
  • Name: The notification’s name.
  • Status: Indicates if the notification is Enabled or Disabled.
  • Target Scope: Shows if the notification applies to a target or target group.
  • Event: The scan event that triggers the notification.
  • User Scope: Specifies who receives the notification.
  • Type: Indicates the creator of the notification. Displays built-in for system-generated notifications or mine for your personal notifications.
