# Notifications and Errors

## Overview

In-Console notifications provide information about the performance of your Panther instance. You can [configure the types of notifications](#setting-notification-preferences) you would like to receive. The types of notifications are:

* [System Notifications](#system-notifications)
* [System Errors](#system-errors)
* [Detection Notifications](#detection-notifications)
* [Other](#other)

Notifications in Panther are specific to each user, meaning one user marking a certain notification as read will not affect the read/unread status of the same notification for a second user in the same Panther instance.

Even if you have used [RBAC per log type](https://docs.panther.com/rbac#rbac-per-log-type-1) to restrict a certain role from viewing *alerts* related to a given log type, users with that role will still be able to see *notifications* related to that log type.

### Viewing notifications

To view a list of your notifications, click the bell icon in the upper-right corner of your Panther Console:

Below it, a panel titled &#x22;Notifications&#x22; displays a notification called &#x22;System Error Alert&#x22;" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Real-time notifications will slide in at the corner of your browser window:

It has a &#x22;Dismiss&#x22; and &#x22;Explore Filters&#x22; buttons" width="347"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Types of notifications

### System Errors

System Errors alert you when part of your Panther platform is not functioning as expected. They are sent as in-app notifications, in addition to being sent as alerts to destinations configured to receive System Errors.

Learn more about System Errors, including the different types, on [System Errors](https://docs.panther.com/system-configuration/notifications/system-errors).

### System Notifications

System Notifications are sent only as in-app notifications, unlike System Errors.

System Notifications include:

* **Ingestion capacity limit**: notifies you when you are nearing your data ingestion limit for the month
* **Panther completed reclassifying logs for source**: notifies you when data that has previously failed to classify has been successfully parsed.\\

### Detection Notifications

Detection Notifications are sent only as in-app notifications, unlike System Errors.

These notifications contain information about asynchronous processing of your detection content to give you more insight into background processes.

Currently, the only type of Detection Notifications are [Detection Pack](https://docs.panther.com/detections/panther-managed/packs) update successes and errors. ([Detection errors](https://docs.panther.com/alerts#overview), including [rule and scheduled rule errors](https://docs.panther.com/detections/rules#rule-errors-and-scheduled-rule-errors), do *not* generate Detection Notifications.)

### Other

There are additional, ad-hoc in-app notifications that do not fit into one of the three types of notifications above:

* **CSV Download Ready**: created when generating a CSV from a Search results set that contains more than 1000 rows. Learn more in [Sharing a Search](https://docs.panther.com/search/search-tool#sharing-a-search).\\
