Managing Notification Priorities

This document is for:
Invicti Enterprise On-Demand, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises

Notification priorities can be changed by editing their scope on the Manage Priorities page. This document explains how notification prioritization works in Invicti Enterprise and provides instructions for changing the priority of notifications.

Notification Prioritization

Notifications are grouped by their Event type and then they are prioritized by Scope (what they relate to). Also, the most recently added notification gets the highest priority. The scope priority is as follows:

  1. Single Target
  2. Target Group
  3. Any Target

This means that when a new scan is started, Invicti Enterprise checks all the notifications for the New Scan event in the above-mentioned order. So if for example a target is listed in a New Scan single target scope and a New Scan target group scope notification, once the new scan starts, the single target scope notification is triggered first and the target group scope notification is ignored.

If you have lots of targets, to help remove confusion, you may receive grouped scope notifications.
