The Notification Center is a central place where important messages and status are shown.
You can access it at anytime by clicking on its icon residing in the upper right corner of the window. Depending on the status, the notification center can contain the counter of important messages (for example 2 NOTIFICATIONS) or just simply a text NOTIFICATION CENTER if there are no pending messages. Additionally, the color of the badge determines the importance of the messages:
•Green (transparent) - no urgent messages.
•Yellow - important messages (for example missing non-critical configuration, pending uploads etc.).
•Red - critical messages (errors and critical problems with product configuration).
The notification center is the place where file uploads are triggered. If your upload path is configured in Settings > HTTP Services > Upload Location, then the button to upload any pending files is displayed in the UPLOADS section.
The notification center also informs about:
•The status of the task scheduler (whether it is running as a Windows Service or as private process).
•The status of the HTTP Upload location exposed to endpoints (and its full address).
•The status of the Java runtime (required for Oracle scans).
