How are NetSenX alerts delivered?
On every plan, alerts appear in the dashboard and are sent by e-mail; from the Pro plan they can also go to Slack, a webhook or your own systems through the API, and from the Business plan to your SIEMSIEM: security information and event management. A system that collects logs from many systems and looks for patterns across them.. E-mail suits a small team: send alerts to a shared mailbox or to two people, so someone sees them when the administrator is away. A webhook lets you forward alerts to a ticketing system, a chat tool or an on-call service your IT provider already uses. SIEM export puts network detections next to your log data. Whatever the channel, each alert carries the same plain-language explanation of what happened, on which host and why it was raised. Decide in advance who reads alerts at night and at weekends: NetSenX detects at any hour, but it does not run a staffed service that phones you.
