# Notifications

 Available on all plans 

Cloudflare Notifications help you stay up to date with your Cloudflare account. Manage your Notifications to define what you want to be warned about and how, be it a denial-of-service attack or an issue with your server.

The available Notification features vary according to your plan:

* Free plans can set up email-based Notifications.
* Business and higher plans can also [access PagerDuty](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/get-started/configure-pagerduty/).
* Professional and higher plans can also [use webhooks](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/get-started/configure-webhooks/).

The notification service only works on the [proxied](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/proxy-status/) domains because Cloudflare needs enough information necessary to decide if we need to trigger a notification or not.

Note

The availability of delivery methods like PagerDuty and webhooks in Free or Professional zones depends on the highest zone plan in your Cloudflare account:

* PagerDuty is available in zones on a Free/Professional plan if your Cloudflare account has at least one zone in a Business plan (or higher).
* Webhooks are available in zones on a Free plan if your Cloudflare account has at least one zone in a Professional plan (or higher).

# Configure Cloudflare Notifications

The list of notifications available depends on the type of account you have. Refer to [Available Notifications](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/notification-available/) to learn more about what each notification does and what do to when receiving one.

You can check the [Notification History](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/notification-history/) using the API to view notifications that have been generated for your account.

## Permissions

To create a notification via the Cloudflare dashboard, you will need to have the Super Administrator or Administrator role.

You can also create a notification if you have the account edit role, which allows you create any type of notification.

An API token needs to have the [Notifications Read/Write permission ↗](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/reference/permissions/) to create a notification,

Some notifications can only be created if you have a Professional, Business or Enterprise account or if you are using a particular Cloudflare product.

## Configure notifications

This guide will help you create, edit, test, or delete notifications using the Cloudflare dashboard.

# Configure PagerDuty

Note

This feature is only available if your account has at least one zone on a Business or higher plan. For more information, refer to our [plans ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/).

Cloudflare’s Notification service supports routing notifications to PagerDuty. By sending notifications to PagerDuty you can leverage the same service definitions and escalation paths that you would for other third-party services that you connect to PagerDuty.

When a configuration that you have previously set up triggers a notification for PagerDuty, Cloudflare will send the notification to PagerDuty on your behalf. All of the PagerDuty services configured for the notification will receive the notification. PagerDuty will follow the service’s configuration to handle the notification appropriately. Actions like de-duping and rate limiting depend on the notification type.

To use PagerDuty as a connected service, you must [sign up for a PagerDuty account ↗](https://www.pagerduty.com/sign-up/).

Note

According to PagerDuty, you will need an account with the following permissions to add a connected service: User, Admin, Manager, Global Admin, or Account Owner.

## Connect PagerDuty to a Cloudflare account

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Notifications** page.  
[ Go to **Notifications** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/notifications)
2. Go to **Destinations**.
3. In the **Connected notification services** card, select **Connect**.
4. Log in to your [PagerDuty account ↗](https://www.pagerduty.com/) to connect it to your Cloudflare account.
5. Choose the services you want to use and select **Connect**.
6. The browser will navigate back to your Cloudflare dashboard. Select **Continue**.

Your new connected PagerDuty will appear in the **Connected notification services** card.

## Edit a PagerDuty connected service

To edit which PagerDuty services are connected to your Cloudflare account, you must first disconnect PagerDuty from Cloudflare, make any changes you need in PagerDuty, and then reconnect it.

Disconnecting PagerDuty will disable any notifications being sent to PagerDuty where they are currently configured. If PagerDuty was the only configured destination, disconnecting PagerDuty may result in a notification with no destination.

If other delivery destinations were selected, then those notifications will still be routed as configured.

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Notifications** page.  
[ Go to **Notifications** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/notifications)
2. Go to **Destinations**.
3. In the **Connected notification services** card, select **View** on the PagerDuty service you want to disconnect.
4. Select **Disconnect** \> **Confirm**.
5. Log in to your [PagerDuty account ↗](https://www.pagerduty.com/) and make the required changes.
6. [Reconnect PagerDuty to Cloudflare](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/get-started/configure-pagerduty/).

```json
{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/directory/","name":"Directory"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/notifications/","name":"Notifications"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"/notifications/get-started/","name":"Configure Cloudflare Notifications"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@id":"/notifications/get-started/configure-pagerduty/","name":"Configure PagerDuty"}}]}

# Configure webhooks

Note

This feature is only available if your account has at least one zone with a pro plan or above. For more information, refer to our [plans ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/).

There are a variety of services you can connect to Cloudflare using webhooks to receive notifications from your Cloudflare account. Refer to the table below to learn how to connect your Cloudflare account to [popular webhook services](#popular-webhook-services).

## Configure webhooks

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Notifications** page.  
[ Go to **Notifications** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/notifications)
2. Go to **Destinations**.
3. In the **Webhooks** card, select **Create**.
4. Give your webhook a name to use for identification later.
5. In the **URL** field, enter the URL of the third-party service that you have previously set up and want to connect to your Cloudflare account.
6. If needed, insert the **Secret**. Secrets are how webhooks are encrypted and vary according to the service you are connecting to Cloudflare.
7. Select **Save and Test** to finish setting up your webhook.

The new webhook will appear in the **Webhooks** card.

## Edit webhooks

You can only edit the name of webhooks and/or delete them.

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Notifications** page.  
[ Go to **Notifications** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/notifications)
2. Go to **Destinations**.
3. In the **Webhooks** card, select **Edit** on the webhook that you want to edit.
4. Update the webhook's name and select **Save**.

You can delete a webhook after selecting **Edit** or by selecting **Delete** in the list of webhooks displayed in the **Destinations** card.

## Firewall settings

Webhook notifications are sent from [Cloudflare's IP ranges ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/). If your webhook endpoint is protected by a firewall, you must allowlist these IP addresses to receive notifications.

To programmatically retrieve the current list of Cloudflare IP addresses, use the [Cloudflare API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/cloudflare%5Fips/methods/list/).

Note

Cloudflare's IP ranges are shared across multiple services and may change over time. Periodically check the [IP list ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/) and update your firewall rules accordingly.

## Generic webhooks

If you use a service that is not covered by Cloudflare's currently available webhooks, you can [configure your own](#configure-webhooks), and enter a valid webhook URL.

It is always recommended to use a secret for generic webhooks. Cloudflare will send your secret in the `cf-webhook-auth` header of every request made. If this header is not present, or is not your specified value, you should reject the webhook.

After selecting **Save and Test**, your webhook should now be configured as a destination that you can use to attach to policies.

When Cloudflare sends you a webhook, it will have the following schema:

Example schema

```

{

  "text": "Hello World! This is a test message sent from https://cloudflare.com. If you can see this, your webhook is configured properly."

}


```

For the full payload structure and examples for different alert types, refer to the [webhook payload schema reference](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/reference/webhook-payload-schema/).

### Limitations of generic webhooks

Cloudflare generic webhook notifications will only be dispatched to a publicly resolvable IP address on port 80 or 443.

If you want to receive the generic webhook notification on a private IP address or different port, you can either receive and forward the notification using [Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) or set up a [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/) to route to your connected application.

### Use generic webhooks with Workers

You can use Cloudflare Workers with a generic webhook to deliver notifications to any service that accepts webhooks.

Cloudflare has an [example tool ↗](https://github.com/cloudflare/cf-webhook-relay/) to help you understand how you can use [Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) and generic webhooks. The example provided transforms a generic webhook response in order for it to be delivered to Rocket.Chat. The code provided is heavily commented to guide you in the process of adapting the example to your needs.

```

resource "cloudflare_notification_policy_webhooks" "example" {

  account_id = "<ACCOUNT_ID>"

  name       = "Slack Webhook"

  url        = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000"

  secret     = "<secret>"

}

# Available Notifications

Available Notifications depend on your Cloudflare plan. Cloudflare offers a variety of Notifications for our products and services, such as [Billing](https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/), [Denial of Service protection](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ddos-protection/), [Magic Transit](https://developers.cloudflare.com/magic-transit/), and [SSL/TLS](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/).

Depending on your plan, you can also configure webhooks, allowing you to connect your account with external services such as Slack and Google Chat, and PagerDuty to receive Cloudflare Notifications.

## Actions available on receiving a Notification

Each Notification carries different types of information about the status of your Cloudflare account, or the type of action you can take.

Refer to information below to understand what each Notification does and what to do when receiving one.

## Billing

Usage Based Billing

**Who is it for?**

Customers who want to receive a notification when the usage of a product goes above a set level.

**Other options / filters**

You can choose the product that you want to be notified about and the threshold that fires the notification. Thresholds depend on the product chosen.

For example:

* Argo Smart Routing has **Notify when total bytes of traffic exceeds** as a threshold.
* Load Balancing has **Notify when total number of DNS Queries exceeds** as a threshold.
**Included with**

Professional plans or higher.

**What should you do if you receive one?**

Review your product usage and adjust the configuration and/or increase the alerting threshold.

## Bots

Bot Detection Alert

**Who is it for?**

Enterprise customers who want to be notified when Cloudflare detects a spike in bot traffic on their zones.

**Other options / filters**

None.

**Included with**

Accounts with at least one Enterprise zone.

**What should you do if you receive one?**

Select the [Security Analytics](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/analytics/security-analytics/) link enclosed in the alert message. Contact support if additional advice is needed on how to investigate the attack further.

**Additional information**

After an alert is created on the dashboard, it may take up to 30 minutes before sufficient data is available to begin detecting traffic anomalies. Verified bot traffic is excluded from bot alerts.

Custom Bot Detection Alert

**Who is it for?**

Enterprise customers who want to be notified when Cloudflare detects a spike in bot traffic on their zones.

**Other options / filters**

# Notification History

Notification History is a log of notifications that have been sent to your account via the Notifications service. Information contained in Notification History includes the notification itself, when the notification was sent, and who the notification was sent to.

## How to access Notification History

Currently, customers can access Notification History [via the Cloudflare API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/alerting/subresources/history/methods/list/). Using `GET`, customers can retrieve a list of history records for notifications sent to an account. The records are displayed for the last 30 or 90 days, based on the type of plan.

Syntax

```

GET accounts/{account_id}/alerting/v3/history


```

Example

```

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/alerting/v3/history?page=1&per_page=25" \

--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"


```

## Availability

Notification History is available on all plans. The amount of history clients have access to depends on the type of plan:

* **Free, Pro, and Business**: History from the past 30 days.
* **Enterprise**: History from the past 90 days.

Note

Customers will not be able to access Notification History from before 2021-10-11.

# Common errors

Refer to the information below for more details on common notification errors and how to troubleshoot them.

## Webhook test failed with status code 400 400 Bad Request

This error can occur when you try to configure a webhook that is not currently supported, such as setting up a PagerDuty webhook.

PagerDuty needs to be configured under [connected notification services](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/get-started/configure-pagerduty/).

## Deleted users are still receiving notifications

When you remove a user from your account via **Manage Account** \> **Members** in the Cloudflare dashboard, their email address is not removed from existing notifications.

You need to remove the email address from the configuration of the notifications by [editing the notification recipient](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/get-started/#edit-a-notification).

# HTTP Traffic Alerts

## Error Rate

**Origin Error Rate** alerts allow you to monitor your zones at the origin and be alerted when Cloudflare detects elevated levels of 5xx error responses. You can select which zones to be alerted on and the sensitivity of the alerts. Edge status codes of `521`, `522`, and `523` also count as origin errors as they indicate issues reaching your origin.

**Advanced Error Rate** alerts allow you to monitor either your origin or edge status code. You can select which zones and specific status codes to be alerted on and the sensitivity of the alert. Optionally, you can also filter out certain IP addresses and choose whether to group your alerts by status code.

Once you have set up an alert, Cloudflare checks to see which zones should be monitored for the error rate. The [Clickhouse ABR database ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/explaining-cloudflares-abr-analytics/) is polled for origin HTTP response codes for those zones. The [service-level objective (SLO) ↗](https://sre.google/workbook/alerting-on-slos/) that is set in the alert is used to determine whether the rate of 5xx response codes to total responses is acceptable.

Instead of using thresholds to calculate error rates, Cloudflare uses burn rates. When you select your SLO, the “error budget” for a set period of time is calculated to determine the burn rate. The burn rate is how quickly the error budget is used for that time period. For example, a burn rate of 1 means that the entirety of the error budget will be used up within the set time period.

For Error Rate alerts, Cloudflare uses the multi-window, multi-burn rate approach. We look at a short time period (five minutes) and a long time period (one hour) and only alert you if the error rate exceeds the burn rate for those time periods. This ensures that you are quickly alerted when an outage is detected within a short window, while simultaneously preventing too many false positives since the long window must also be triggered.

Note

This approach does not work as well for low traffic zones. If there are not many requests, any single error might cause the burn rate to be exceeded.

### Service-level objective recommendations

SLOs determine the sensitivity of an alert. For example, if you want to be alerted on all spikes in 5xx errors, you should select high sensitivity. If you want to be alerted on only large spikes, you should select a lower sensitivity.

Your traffic levels impact the accuracy of high sensitivity alerts. High sensitivity alerts are not recommended for zones with low traffic since the Error Rate alert will likely alert on every 5xx error. However, If you have a zone that has very high traffic (hundreds of millions of requests per day), High Sensitivity SLOs are recommended.

### Alert Grouping recommendations

[Advanced Error Rate Alerts](https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/notification-available/#traffic-monitoring) support grouping by status code. When status code grouping is enabled, a notification policy will calculate SLO violations and send alerts for each status code matched by the notification separately.

For example, if an Advanced Error Rate policy is filtered to status codes between `500` and `599`, and your domain received spikes to `503` and `504`, you would receive a separate alert for each status code. To receive a single alert, alert grouping should be disabled.

Since service-level indicators (SLI) are calculated separately for each status code when grouping is enabled, a notification policy with status code grouping may not be in violation, but the same policy without status code grouping is in violation. This can happen if there are spikes in the rates of multiple status codes, but no individual spike is large enough.

---

## Traffic Anomalies

Traffic Anomalies alerts must have a z-score of more than 3.5 or less than -3.5, and a total of more than 200 requests. A z-score is the number of standard deviations the current value is to the mean. The mean and standard deviation is calculated by comparing the current five minutes to the past four hours. This is measured every five minutes.

You can filter the alerts by domain, whether or not to include traffic already mitigated by the WAF and DoS, and specific status codes. You can also choose if you want to be alerted on drops and/or spikes in your traffic.

---

## Limitations

Notifications are configured per zone. At the moment, it is not possible to configure alerts for a specific path or hostname.

The conditions in which the alerts are triggered cannot be configured. However, it is possible to choose whether to include traffic mitigated by DoS and WAF.

## Validate webhook payloads

You can use the `cf-webhook-auth` header to verify that incoming webhooks are from Cloudflare. When you configure a webhook with a secret, Cloudflare includes this header with your secret value in every request. Reject any requests where this header is missing or does not match your configured secret.
