--- sidebar_position: 6 --- # Notifications Notifications are accesible from the notification icon in upper right corner. ![notifications center](/img/admin/notifications_center.png) OpenPanel records the following actions: - server reboot - service is inactive - update is available - admin login from new ip address - ssh login from new ip address - high memory usage - high average load - high cpu usage - high disk usage - high swap usage - dns changed Each notification type can be disabled and treshold limits can be set by the Admin user. To view current notification settings, click on the bell icon in the top menu. You can view the current settings, and modify them. To view current notification settings run: ```bash opencli admin notifications get To confirm receipt of a notification, select the checkmark icon located in front of it. Once a notification is confirmed, subsequent notifications of the same type will be logged if the issue persists. For instance, if a service is unavailable, the system will generate an initial notification. However, if you acknowledge the notification and the service remains unrecovered, the next time the check is executed, it will log another notification.
