The Notification Timeline enhances visibility and traceability, allowing administrators to easily track the sequence of events and their impacts on the system. This feature is designed to improve monitoring efficiency, making it simpler to identify and address issues promptly. As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering top-tier monitoring solutions, the Notification Timeline represents a significant step forward in user experience and system management.

This comprehensive view allows for more effective resource management and helps identify potential storage issues before they impact performance. By visualizing disk usage in real-time, administrators can make informed decisions to optimize system efficiency and reliability.
