# Email alerts and reports

API Behavioral Security (ABS) sends e-mail notifications.

E-mail notifications are classified into two categories:

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

* Reports – standard reports sent every 24 hours at 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.
