What are alerts?
Alerts are tasks that continually monitor active queries to look for and report on specific events or conditions. When the conditions of the alert are met, an alert notification is triggered.
Alerts can be delivered to servers, groups, or individuals either in real-time or at set intervals. For example, you may define an alert to notify you every time a specific status code appears in a web server event. Or, you might set an alert to be triggered if a server's average response time over a 30-minute period exceeds a set threshold.Â
Alerts are critical tools for monitoring system performance and data conditions. They can be defined on any kind of query and help you to:
Troubleshoot systems
Detect incidents in real-time
Proactively recognize potential problems
Identify security weaknesses
Detect potential fraud or network threats
Respond more quickly to server crashes
Identify unexpected and/or unwanted operations occurring in your applications
Detect inactivity

What are notifications?
These are simple messages generated by Devo when certain events have occurred in the domain. They can be reviewed in the Notifications area of the web app. To access this area, you need the View level of the Notifications permission (more about permissions here).
Devo generates notifications that communicate system events. The Notifications area lists the notifications that have been triggered when:
Someone uploads data or inject content to a table.
An aggregation task is created, stopped or deleted.
A new lookup table is ready for use or deleted.
A new relay is added.
Click Notifications in the Navigation pane to access the notifications area. Here you can see all notifications in the domain generated during the last 7 days, with the most recent at the top.
You can remove notifications from this list using the X buttons at the end of each notification row if you deem it appropriate. Deletion is only possible if you have the Manage level of the aforementioned Notifications permission (more about permissions here).
