Data Security Center (DSC) sends real-time notifications to specified email addresses or phone numbers when data audit alerts, log capacity alerts, or abnormal AccessKey pair-based access alerts are triggered. Configuring alert notifications lets you respond to security events before they affect your business.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
-
Access to the DSC console
-
The email addresses or phone numbers of alert recipients
Create an alert configuration

| Recipients | The email addresses or phone numbers to receive alert notifications. |
| Alert Configurations | The alert types and conditions that trigger notifications. You can select multiple severity levels. Valid values: Audit Alerts (triggered when an audit alert matches the severity levels you configure), Storage alerts (triggered when log storage capacity exceeds the threshold you set), and Unusual AccessKey Pair Usage (triggered when the data detection and response feature detects unhandled abnormal AccessKey pair-based access events). |
| Maximum Alerts | The maximum number of notifications sent per rule within 24 hours. Valid values: 0–10. Default value: 10. The count resets at 00:00 each day. If set to 0, no notifications are sent. |
