Track macOS Server alerts in macOS Server
Use the Server app to view messages about important server events. Each alert message notes when the event occurred, briefly describes the event, outlines available recovery options for resulting problems, and may assist you in recovery. Server sends alerts about low volume space, software updates, expiring SSL certificates, email viruses, and network configuration changes.
Alerts can also be sent by email and push notification.
