  Parameter	Description
  Command Alert Notification	When an O&M operation triggers a command control policy, Bastionhost sends notifications. Each policy specifies an action on commands, such as approving or blocking commands.
  Storage Capacity Notification	When storage is about to reach the upper limit, Bastionhost sends notifications. For example, Bastionhost notifies you when 85% of storage is used. Note If the available storage remains unchanged or keeps decreasing, Bastionhost no longer sends notifications.
  Notifications of Automatic Tasks	After an automatic password change task is complete, Bastionhost sends a notification. Note After an automatic password change task is created, Bastionhost automatically runs the task based on the specified time or cycle. The automatic password change feature helps meet the requirements of classified protection and prevents errors that are caused by regular and manual password rotation. For more information about how to create an automatic password change task, see Use the automatic password change feature.
  O&M Report Notification	From 10:00 to 11:00 each Monday, Bastionhost sends the O&M reports of the last week.
  Shared Key Change Notification	If a period is specified for this parameter, Bastionhost sends a notification to change a shared key when the shared key is about to expire. Only a Bastionhost administrator can specify the period. Note Shared key expiration does not affect your service. You can determine whether to configure a new shared key based on your business requirements. After you create a shared key and associate the key with multiple host accounts, the shared key is preferentially used to log on to hosts for O&M. This makes host account management more efficient. For more information about how to create a shared key, see Use the shared key feature.
  Alert Notification of Network Domain Proxy	When the proxy server of a network domain fails to run, Bastionhost sends a notification. Note After you create a network domain in your bastion host and connect the network domain to a proxy server, the bastion host checks the connectivity of the proxy server every 5 minutes. For more information, see Use the network domain feature.
  O&M Approval Notification	When an O&M application is submitted, Bastionhost notifies the recipients that you specify on the System Settings page. After the O&M application is reviewed, Bastionhost sends the review result to the applicant.

This notification will be sent to the related user regardless of whether the user is specified as a recipient of text message or email notifications.
  Notification for User Password Expiration	Specifies how many days before the password of a Bastionhost user expires to send a notification to the user. Valid values: 1 to 4. Default value: 1.
