# Alerts & notifications

Real-time alerts keep you informed about important events across your infrastructure.

## Overview

The alerts page aggregates notifications from all Edge services into a single feed. You'll be notified about operational events, security updates, resource warnings and product announcements.

Open alerts from [Account → Alerts](/console/alerts) or via the bell icon in the navigation bar.

## Alert types

- **Error:** Something needs immediate attention: failed uploads, service errors or security incidents.
- **Warning:** Something may need attention soon: resource limits approaching, high usage or configuration issues.
- **Success:** An operation completed successfully: SSL renewals, scaling operations, DNS propagation.
- **Info:** General information: scheduled maintenance, product updates and feature announcements.
