Creating a Key Event Notification

Function

This API is used to configure notifications for key events. When specified operations are detected, the system uses Simple Message Notification (SMN) topics to notify users via SMS, email, or HTTP/HTTPS messages. This helps you detect high-risk operations promptly. These notifications can also be used as triggers for specific operations or be integrated with your own audit systems.
