Infoblox Platform is designed to keep you informed about critical events through notifications. Located at the top right corner of Infoblox Portal, the notification icon (next to the global search icon) indicates the total number of notifications received within the past three days. If the count exceeds 99 notifications, it will be shown as 99+. By clicking on the notification icon, you can access the most recent notifications. You also have the option to view personal notifications and configure notification settings by clicking on the ellipsis icon.
Infoblox supports the following user groups for notification delivery:

Access control administrators
Universal DDI administrators
Universal DDI users

For each user group, notifications are supported for the following events:
New Release Notifications: Events related to new Infoblox Platform release information, such as new features and enhancements, based on your Infoblox subscriptions. New Release information and service change/interruptions are generated by Infoblox support and operations. There is no tie to the Infoblox Portal. Customers have the ability to subscribe to service notifications down to specific product families.
Account Notifications: Events related directly to user accounts, such as password reset, new user notification, user deletion, and others. Account and Platform level notification stands alone. Example: If you create an administrator account, by default all the other administrator accounts are notified. Note that these notifications can be adjusted. hese settings are adjustable). These are generated with any license on the Infoblox Portal.
License Notifications: License expiration notifications are related to Account notifications in Infoblox Notifications, but the notifications are related with The SOC Insight Reporting system in Configuring Notification Delivery, as well.
DDI Metrics: Events about whether the DHCP utilization is too high or too low.
Host Notifications/Server Notifications: Events related to the host/server metrics, such as if a host/server is using too much memory or is running out of hard drive space. You can configure the thresholds that trigger these alerts. Host/server resource notifications (e.g. CPU usage for servers) are related with Service notifications in Infoblox Notifications, but the notifications are are related with The SOC Insight Reporting system in Configuring Notification Delivery, too. Universal DDI notifications do not require or use SOC Insights. Do note that SOC Insight Reporting system group is including the other groups (Host/Server Notifications and Service Notifications, or it may include all other groups New Release, Account, DDI Metrics, Host, and Service notifications). The notifications mentioned are available in the Infoblox Platform notification settings or through the specific Application settings for Universal DDI. There is no requirement for SOC insights to have any of these base notifications. For information, see Configuring Service Thresholds and Alerts.
Service Notifications: Service-down alerts for selected services that are running on the host. All service-down notifications are deselected by default. You must choose the services on which you want to receive notifications and configure the applicable delivery method to receive service notifications. For information on service notifications, see Configuring Service Thresholds and Alerts.
Note: Infoblox Platform sends service notifications for available services only. For example, notifications are not currently supported for the DFP service; therefore, you cannot choose to receive service-down notifications for the DFP service.The SOC Insights Reporting system: Infoblox Portal event notifications delivered via Data Connector to SIEMs, such as license expiration, CPU utilization, or new feature announcements. SOC Insight notifications are based on
Enhanced Security events (if the customer has purchased the separate SOC Insights license)
Configuration Events (all customers, with or without the optional license).
