Alerts and findings

What findings and alerts are in StackHangar, how fixed rules raise them, and where you see them.

StackHangar watches the dates and settings on your items and tells you before something expires, lapses or needs attention. This page explains the two parts: findings and alerts.

#Findings

A finding is one thing that needs your attention, such as "Expires in 5 days" on an API key. Fixed rules decide which findings exist, how urgent they are and in what order they appear. These rules run on your device, on your decrypted data. They are the same every time and do not use AI. An AI explanation can describe a finding if you ask, but it never creates, ranks or changes one. See AI explanations.

The kinds of finding are listed in Findings.

#Where you see findings

  • Home ranks all findings across your projects, most urgent first, in the groups Expired, Next 7 days, Next 30 days, Provider changes and Hygiene. See Projects and Home.
  • A project page shows the findings for that project's items under Needs attention.
  • Costs lists plan findings under Plan findings. See Plans, limits and costs.
  • On the Vault page, each item's status badge shows its date, such as Expires or Renews, or No expiry set.

If your vault is locked you can't see findings: StackHangar can only read your items once you unlock. See Unlock your vault.

#What you can do about a finding

Select Fix to start the Rotate playbook for the item (see Rotate a key), Mark renewed or Mark rotated to record that you've done it, Snooze to hide it until you reload the page, or Explain for an AI explanation.

#Alerts

An alert is an email reminder. StackHangar emails you before something is due, so you hear about it even if you don't open the app. See Expiry reminders.

Alert emails never contain names. The server only knows opaque IDs and dates, so the email can say how many things need attention but not which. See What StackHangar can see.
