Notification Centre

Open blackcoffeexbt opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As an admin running LNbits instances, it can be difficult to keep track of important event especially in multi-user setups or public instances.

There's no central way for an admin user.to be notified of things like new users, payments, system issues, or available updates. This can lead to missed events, undetected issues, or delays in taking action.

Describe the solution you'd like A notifications centre in the LNbits admin interface. This would show recent system, user, and transaction events in a single feed. Events might include:

  • balance mismatches
  • new user signups
  • wallet created/deleted
  • large incoming/outgoing payments (over a threshold)
  • funding source failure
  • plugin updates available
  • LNbits core updates available
  • API keys used from new IPs
  • failed login attempts and / or other security issues
  • extension-specific events (e.g. POS payment received)
  • system issues e.g. low disk space

This would be accessible from the admin panel and could include filters or severity tags. This could make use of the browser notifications API

Describe alternatives you've considered n/a

Additional context This would make it easier to run LNbits in a more production-oriented environment, particularly when used by multiple users or for pubic facing services. It would also reduce the risk of unnoticed problems. Having extensions able to register their own notifications would make this more useful over time.

@BenGWeeks has added internal user notifications here https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/pull/3376 Its the perfect spot for it, and could exist for all users, but for admin they could receive all the above notifcations.

Could tie in the wallet share notifications into here too.

Would also propose that alerts would go to the top right (near profile icon) rather than just alerts for wallets.
