Setting up notifications

Administrator Help | TRITON AP-DATA | Version 8.3.x

Notification are configured on the Resources page. Notifications are email messages that are sent when policy breaches are discovered.

TRITON AP-DATA offers a built-in notification template, Default notification, that you can edit as required. This notification is used as a default by the built-in action plans: to ensure that a notification is sent when an action plan is triggered, either edit the Default notification or create a new notification and edit your action plan to use it. See Notifications and Adding a new action plan for more details.

Select Main > Policy Management > Resources.

From the Remediation section, select the Notifications option.

Click New on the toolbar.

Enter a name and description for this notification template, such as "Breach notification".
