This drop-down page is grouped into three tabs: Overview, All, and Dismissed.

  • Deployment Failed

  • Backup Failed

  • Upgrade Failed

  • Migrate FTD to Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center Failed

  • Device went offline

  • Device HA state changed

  • Device certificates expiring

You can configure which alerts you want to receive by clicking the Notification Settings in the Notifications window or by selecting UserID > User Preferences page. The User ID button in the upper right corner of the dashboard.

All tab

Dismissed tab

Manage user notification preferences

Security Cloud Control Firewall Management generates notifications whenever a device linked to your tenant encounters a specific event. This includes actions taken by the device, expiring or expired device certificates, or the start, completion, or failure of a report generation task. By default, these notifications are enabled and visible to all users associated with the tenant, regardless of their role. You have the option to customize your personal notification preferences to display only the alerts that interest you. These preferences are unique to you and do not impact other users connected to the tenant.
