1. **Alert Events** - Enables alerts of connections, disconnections, IP changes (down and down reconnected notifications are still sent even if this is disabled).
2. **Alert Down** - Alerts when a device goes down. This setting overrides a disabled **Alert Events** setting, so you will get a notification of a device going down even if you don't have **Alert Events** ticked. Disabling this will disable down and down reconnected notifications on the device.
3. **Skip repeated notifications**, if for example you know there is a temporary issue and want to pause the same notification for this device for a given time.
4. **Require NICs Online** - Indicates whether this device should be considered online only if all associated NICs (devices with the `nic` relationship type) are online. If disabled, the device is considered online if any NIC is online. If a NIC is online it sets the parent (this) device's status to online irrespectivelly of the detected device's status. The Relationship type is set on the childern device.
3. **Can Sleep** - Marks the device as sleep-capable (e.g. a battery-powered sensor that deep-sleeps between readings). When enabled, offline periods within the **Alert down after (sleep)** (`NTFPRCS_sleep_time`) global window are shown as **Sleeping** (aqua badge 🌙) instead of **Down**, and no down alert is fired during that window. Once the window expires the device falls back to normal down-alert logic. ⚠ Requires **Alert Down** to be enabled — sleeping suppresses the alert during the window only.

@@ -44,6 +45,7 @@ In Notification Processing settings, you can specify blanket rules. These allow
1. Notify on (`NTFPRCS_INCLUDED_SECTIONS`) allows you to specify which events trigger notifications. Usual setups will have `new_devices`, `down_devices`, and possibly `down_reconnected` set. Including `plugin` (dependenton the Plugin `<plugin>_WATCH` and `<plugin>_REPORT_ON` settings) and `events` (dependent on the on-device **Alert Events** setting) might be too noisy for most setups. More info in the [NTFPRCS plugin](https://github.com/netalertx/NetAlertX/blob/main/front/plugins/notification_processing/README.md) on what events these selections include.
2. Alert down after (`NTFPRCS_alert_down_time`) is useful if you want to wait for some time before the system sends out a down notification for a device. This is related to the on-device **Alert down** setting and only devices with this checked will trigger a down notification.
3. Alert down after (sleep) (`NTFPRCS_sleep_time`) sets the **sleep window** in minutes. If a device has **Can Sleep** enabled and goes offline, it is shown as **Sleeping** (aqua 🌙 badge) for this many minutes before down-alert logic kicks in. Default is `30` minutes. Changing this setting takes effect after saving — no restart required.
You can filter out unwanted notifications globally. This could be because of a misbehaving device (GoogleNest/GoogleHub (See also [ARPSAN docs and the `--exclude-broadcast` flag](https://github.com/netalertx/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/arp_scan#ip-flipping-on-google-nest-devices))) which flips between IP addresses, or because you want to ignore new device notifications of a certain pattern.
