Configure a speeding alert

Set up a speeding alert to receive a notification whenever a vehicle exceeds a speed you define. Once configured, speeding events appear in the Real-Time Alerts feed and are captured in the Speeding Violations report. Portal verification gap: A dedicated alert-configuration form (for example, Settings → Alerts or Fleet → Alert Settings) was not confirmed in any crawled portal route as of 2026-05-22. The steps below describe the expected flow based on the GPS reports surface and general platform patterns. Verify the exact UI path in the next portal capture cycle and update this article before publishing.

​
Before you start

  • Admin role required to create or modify alert configurations.
  • The vehicle must have an active DataLogger OBD device paired in Servinix. Vehicles without a device cannot generate speeding events.

​
Steps

  1. In the left navigation, click Settings.
  2. Look for an Alerts or Notifications section. If it is not present, click Fleet in the left navigation and check for an Alert Settings link within the Fleet section.
Note: The exact location of the alert-configuration form has not been portal-verified. If you cannot find an Alerts configuration page, contact Servinix support for current guidance. See How to contact Servinix support.

​
Create a speeding alert

  1. Click Add Alert (or Create Alert, depending on the version of the portal you are using).
  2. Select Speeding as the alert type.
  3. In the Speed Threshold field, enter the maximum speed in miles per hour (mph) that a vehicle may reach before the alert fires. For example, enter 75 to alert on any reading above 75 mph.
  4. Under Scope, choose whether the alert applies to:
    • A specific vehicle — select the vehicle by name or ID.
    • All vehicles — leave scope set to “All” or “Fleet-wide.”
  5. Under Notify, add the email addresses or mobile users who should receive the alert. Push notifications are delivered to users with the Servinix Go app installed and notifications enabled.
  6. (Optional) Set a Severity level — Critical, High, or Medium — so the alert surfaces at the right priority in the Real-Time Alerts feed.
  7. Click Save to activate the alert.

​
Verify the alert is active

After saving, the alert should appear in your alert list with an “Active” status. You can edit or delete it from the same list.

​
Result / verify

Once active, the next time a tracked vehicle exceeds the configured speed threshold, an alert entry appears in:
  • The Real-Time Alerts feed at Fleet → Real-Time Alerts (Alert Type: Speeding, Severity: as configured).
  • The Speeding Violations report at Reports, where you can filter by vehicle, driver, duration, and location.
If push notifications are enabled on the Servinix Go app, assigned recipients also receive a mobile notification.

​
Troubleshooting

No speeding alerts are being generated — confirm that the vehicle’s DataLogger device is active and reporting. See Verify device connection. Also confirm the alert status is Active, not paused or draft. Alert fires too frequently — raise the speed threshold. For highway-heavy fleets, a threshold of 80–85 mph is typical; for urban routes, 45–55 mph is more appropriate. Recipients not receiving notifications — confirm that the recipient’s email is correct and that push notifications are enabled on their mobile device. See Enable push notifications.
