Notifications and phone alerts
How to set this up
- Switch on the severities you want in the Notifications card. macOS asks once for permission to show notifications.
- For your phone, press Set up ntfy. One button makes a private topic and shows a QR code.
- Install the ntfy app, scan the QR, and press Test send. You will see the alert on your phone within seconds.
- Telegram is the other way: press Open BotFather, make a bot, paste its token and press Save and check token, then Find my chat.
- Optional: set the health digest times. It sends a short summary of every machine to your phone.
Something not working?
- Test send says it failed: read the line under it. It names the check to make.
- On iPhone, if the scan does nothing, open ntfy, tap +, and paste the subscribe address shown.
- No macOS notification: open System Settings > Notifications > Vantage and allow them.
- A phone alert needs an observability server on a machine that is on: see Settings > Observability server.
