Manage Notifications

Fing provides various types of alerts and content notifications  ranging from network and device updates to emails and content with useful tips for optimizing your network. You can manage these communications through your Profile settings in Fing (Account > Edit Profile).

Fing notifications, alerts, and emails tell you what is happening on your network, for example, a network outage, a new device going offline, or a new device entering your network.  Product and content notifications include a weekly or monthly newsletter, and technical tips and information. Notifications are enabled by default but you can manage or disable them through the Profile settings on Fing desktop, Fing Web App, and Fing Mobile and Mobile Controlled Agents.
