# Alarms and Notifications The alarms and notifications module is part both of the preservation and of the system configuration. The alarms, individually considered, however, are considered as belonging only to the preservation or the system alarms. An alarm is a process that verifies a condition at a given time interval, generating an email and/or notification in case that condition is detected. **LIBSAFE** has 3 pages with respect to alarms and notifications: --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
