Overview
The Notifications page is your central inbox for all system alerts, application updates, and messages from WiseJNRS. Notifications keep you informed about important events without needing to constantly monitor every page.
Navigate to Notifications by clicking Notifications in the sidebar. A red badge on the Notifications icon shows the count of unread notifications.
Notification Types
Organism generates four categories of notifications:
System Alerts
Automated alerts triggered by system events:
| Alert | Description |
|---|---|
| Container Crashed | A container exited unexpectedly |
| Health Check Failed | A container failed its health check |
| Disk Space Low | Available disk space is below threshold |
| Docker Disconnected | Lost connection to the container engine |
| Docker Reconnected | Connection to the container engine restored |
System alerts are colour-coded by severity — yellow for warnings, red for errors.
App Updates
Notifications when newer versions of your installed applications are available:
- Shows the current version and the new version available
- Includes a link to the update page
- Indicates whether the update is a patch, minor, or major release
Messages from WiseJNRS
Broadcast messages sent from the WiseJNRS platform:
- Announcements — new features, platform updates, maintenance notices
- Security advisories — important security patches or recommendations
- Tips — helpful suggestions for getting the most out of Organism
These messages are marked with a "wisejnrs.net" source badge.
Activity Log
Record of actions performed on your installation:
- Application installed or uninstalled
- Application started, stopped, or restarted
- Settings changed
- Updates applied
Notification List
Each notification in the list displays:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Icon | Category indicator (alert, update, message, activity) |
| Title | Brief description of the event |
| Message | Detailed information about what happened |
| Timestamp | When the notification was generated |
| Source | Which container or service generated it |
| Read/Unread | Visual indicator of read status |
Unread notifications appear with a highlighted background. Read notifications have a subtle, dimmed appearance.
Managing Notifications
Mark as Read
Click on any notification to mark it as read. The unread badge count in the sidebar updates automatically.
Mark All as Read
Click the Mark all as read button at the top of the page to dismiss all unread notifications at once.
Delete Notifications
Individual notifications can be deleted by clicking the dismiss button. This permanently removes the notification from your history.
Notification Badge
The sidebar shows a red badge on the Notifications icon with the count of unread notifications. This badge:
- Updates in real time as new notifications arrive
- Disappears when all notifications are read
- Shows a maximum count (e.g. "9+" for more than 9 unread)
Real-Time Delivery
Notifications are delivered in real time — you don't need to refresh the page. When a new notification arrives:
- The sidebar badge count increases
- A toast notification briefly appears in the corner of the screen
- The notification is added to the top of the Notifications page
The notification polling interval is 30 seconds for background checks, with instant delivery for critical alerts like container crashes.
Configuring Notifications
You can control which notifications you receive from the Settings page:
- Toggle specific notification categories on or off
- Health check failures can be suppressed during planned maintenance
- System messages from WiseJNRS can be muted
