Enabling the Basic/Enterprise/Premium Edition
After alarm notification is enabled, you can receive alarm notifications sent by HSS to learn about security risks facing your servers and web pages. Without this function, you have to log in to the management console to view alarms.
If you do not set alarm notifications, the system will pop up a dialog box to remind you.
- Alarm notification settings are effective only for the current region. To receive notifications from another region, switch to that region and configure alarm notification.
- Alarm notifications may be mistakenly intercepted. If you do not receive any alarm notifications, view them in the message interception area.
- The Simple Message Notification (SMN) service is a paid service. For details about the price, see Product Pricing Details.
Why Do I Need Alarm Notifications?
After the alarm notification function is enabled, HSS will send alarm information via SMS messages to your mobile devices immediately when alarms (on suspicious accounts, unknown ports, vulnerabilities, brute-force attacks, viruses, malicious programs, abnormal shells, web page tampering, ransomware, and so on) are reported. In this way, you can check alarms anytime anywhere and take measures, for example, enhance security, fix vulnerabilities, and manual scan for and kill viruses.

Daily alarm notification
The HSS system scans the accounts, web directories, vulnerabilities, malicious programs, and key configurations in the server system at 00:00 every day, and sends the summarized detection results to the recipients you set in the Message Center or SMN, whichever you enabled.

- Daily alarm notifications contain a lot of check items. If you want to send the notifications to recipients set in an SMN topic, you are advised to set the topic protocol to Email.
Real-time alarm notification
When an attacker intrudes a server, HSS sends alarms to the recipients you set in the Message Center or SMN, depending on which one you chose.
- It is recommended that you receive all the content in the real-time alarm notification and view them in time. The HSS system monitors the security of servers in real time, detects the attacker's intrusion, and sends real-time alarm notifications for you to quickly handle the problem.
