# Notifications and alerts

PingAuthorize Server provides delivery mechanisms for administrative alerts using SMTP or SNMP in addition to standard error logging.

Alerts and events reflect state changes within the server that might be of interest to a user or monitoring service. Notifications are typically the delivery of an alert or event to a user or monitoring service.
