# Email alerts and reports

ABS sends e-mail notifications under two categories:

* **Alerts** – event-based updates to notify administrators of potential issues

* **Reports** – standard reports sent every 24 hours at 00:00:00 hours midnight

Email parameters in `abs.properties` correspond to your e-mail server. By default, e-mail notifications are disabled. Enable notifications after configuring e-mail IDs and server.
