Notification Settings

This page explains the Notification Settings screen in the GoAdmio Admin Panel. It controls which events trigger alerts, and how those alerts are delivered (Email, WhatsApp, Missed Call).

Location: Admin Panel → Server Management → Notification Settings

Overview

The Notification Settings page lets you choose, per alert type, which delivery channels are used. Each row is an event category; each column is a delivery method. You toggle delivery by enabling the channel for that event.

Delivery channels:

| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| Email | Sent to the Administrator Email and/or Cron Email — see Basic GoAdmio Setup |
| WhatsApp | Sent via the configured WhatsApp integration |
| Missed Call | Triggers a missed call to the Administrator Mobile — see Basic GoAdmio Setup |

> Note: Email is the default and most reliable channel. WhatsApp and Missed Call require an integration to be configured and verified. Enable Missed Call only for the most critical alerts to avoid noise.

The Table

Each row lists a Type of notification, a short description, and the number of alerts generated (a running count, useful to gauge how noisy a channel will be), followed by the three channel toggles.

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The event category |
| Alerts | Count of alerts generated for this category |
| Email | Toggle email delivery |
| WhatsApp | Toggle WhatsApp delivery |
| Missed Call | Toggle missed-call delivery |

Alert Types

Blocked IPs

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 20523 |
| Description | An IP address was blocked by a security feature (firewall, bot blocker, login protection). |

> Tip: This is the highest-volume category on most servers. Enable Email only if you want a record; do not enable WhatsApp or Missed Call — it would be overwhelming.

Server Down Alerts

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 1555 |
| Description | The server or a critical service is unreachable. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp + Missed Call. This is one of the few events where a missed call is justified — a down server loses revenue.

Website Under DDoS Attack

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 330 |
| Description | Incoming traffic patterns match a DDoS attack. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. A missed call is optional; DDoS mitigation is usually handled by the firewall, but you want to know.

Service Monitoring

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 253 |
| Description | One of the core services (Apache, MySQL, GoAdmio) is failing. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. These correspond to the services on Service Status.

Domain Expiration

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 253 |
| Description | A hosted domain is approaching its expiration date. |

> Tip: Enable Email only. This is informational and usually handled by the registrar.

Hosting Expiration

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 253 |
| Description | A hosting account or package is approaching its expiration date. |

> Tip: Enable Email only. Consider a Missed Call for accounts with large billing value, but generally email is sufficient.

Admin Login Alerts

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 200 |
| Description | An administrator logged in to the panel. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp for security-sensitive servers. Do not enable Missed Call unless you log in very rarely.

Service SSL Certificate Expiration

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 183 |
| Description | A system service SSL certificate is expired or about to expire. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. This affects mail, panel, and other TLS endpoints — not the per-domain Let's Encrypt certificates (those are handled separately by Install Free SSL Certificate).

Backup Delayed

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 166 |
| Description | The backup process continues to run after 16 hours. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. A 16-hour backup usually indicates a problem — large disk, slow destination, or a hung process.

Backup Finished With Partial Failure

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 166 |
| Description | The backup completed but with errors. |

> Tip: Enable Email. Inspect the backup log to see which files or databases failed.

Backup Transport Error

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 166 |
| Description | The system failed to transport the backup to the remote destination. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. A transport failure means you do not have an off-site backup — this is a high-priority alert.

GoPanel Backup

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 166 |
| Description | A GoAdmio panel backup completed. |

> Tip: Enable Email if you want a per-backup record. Usually safe to leave WhatsApp/Missed Call off.

GoPanel Backup Destination Disabled

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 166 |
| Description | A configured backup destination has been disabled (e.g., credentials invalid, storage full). |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. Silent backup destination failure is dangerous — you may think you have backups when you don't.

Scheduled Backup Will Start Soon

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 166 |
| Description | A scheduled backup is about to start. |

> Tip: Enable Email only, or disable entirely if you already receive start/finish notifications.

Invalid IMAP for Main IP Address

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 108 |
| Description | The IMAP service for the main IP address is invalid or unreachable. |

> Tip: Enable Email. This usually means a mail service misconfiguration on the primary interface.

Security Alerts

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 42 |
| Description | General security events (suspicious logins, brute-force attempts, policy violations). |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. Consider Missed Call for high-security environments.

Account Creation

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 22 |
| Description | A new hosting account was created. |

> Tip: Enable Email if you want an audit trail of account provisioning.

Large Amount of Outbound Email Detected

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 6 |
| Description | A mailbox or script is sending an unusually large volume of outbound email. |

> Tip: Enable Email + WhatsApp. This is often the first sign of a compromised account being used for spam — fast action prevents an IP blacklist.

Restore Success

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Alerts | 6 |
| Description | Data was restored successfully. |

> Tip: Enable Email only. Useful to confirm restore operations completed correctly.

Firewall Notifications and more

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Description | Firewall events (rule changes, blocked traffic, firewall state changes) and additional categories not listed above. |

> Tip: Enable Email only for firewall rule changes. High-volume firewall event categories are better reviewed on demand in IP Blocker and Bot Blocker.

Recommended Configuration

A sensible baseline for most servers:

| Type | Email | WhatsApp | Missed Call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server Down Alerts | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Service Monitoring | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Website Under DDoS Attack | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Backup Transport Error | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| GoPanel Backup Destination Disabled | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Security Alerts | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Admin Login Alerts | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Service SSL Certificate Expiration | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Large Amount of Outbound Email Detected | ✅ | ✅ | — |
| Backup Delayed | ✅ | — | — |
| Backup Finished With Partial Failure | ✅ | — | — |
| Domain Expiration | ✅ | — | — |
| Hosting Expiration | ✅ | — | — |
| Blocked IPs | — | — | — |
| Scheduled Backup Will Start Soon | — | — | — |
| Account Creation | — | — | — |
| Restore Success | — | — | — |

> Tip: Missed Call should be reserved for events that require immediate human action — server down is the clearest example. Everything else can wait for an email or WhatsApp notification.

How to Configure

1. Log in to the GoAdmio Admin Panel.
2. Navigate to Server Management → Notification Settings.
3. For each alert type, toggle the delivery channels (Email, WhatsApp, Missed Call).
4. Click Save.

Prerequisites

• Email delivery uses the Administrator Email from Basic GoAdmio Setup. Verify it is valid and monitored.
• WhatsApp requires the WhatsApp integration to be configured and verified.
• Missed Call uses the Administrator Mobile from Basic GoAdmio Setup. Ensure the number is in international format (e.g., +20100000000).

Troubleshooting

| Problem | Likely cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Not receiving email alerts | Invalid Administrator Email or spam filter | Verify the address in Basic GoAdmio Setup |
| WhatsApp alerts not delivered | WhatsApp integration not configured | Configure and verify the WhatsApp integration |
| Missed Call not triggering | Mobile number missing or invalid format | Set a valid international number in Basic GoAdmio Setup |
| Too many alerts | High-volume category enabled on multiple channels | Disable WhatsApp/Missed Call for noisy categories like Blocked IPs |
| Critical alert missed | Channel disabled for that event | Enable Email + WhatsApp for critical categories |
| Backup destination failure went unnoticed | "Destination Disabled" alerts off | Enable Email + WhatsApp for that event |
