## Email Reports

For customers who want a daily summary of Anti-Virus scanning sent to their inboxes, we offer the ability to send daily email reports detailing recently found threats. We show a brief report including types of problem files found, malware detected, and threats found in the last week.

Enable this feature in the Email Reports tab in the Configuration > Proactive Notifications page. Enter in a comma separated list of email recipients and click 'Save'. Daily Email Reports will now be sent to those addresses.

## AWS Monthly Budget Alert

This section provides a setting that notifies email addresses of your choice when the infrastructure costs incurred by the CSS application reach 50%, 75%, and 100% of a budget threshold that you set.

Set up the Budget Configuration with your budget name, email list, and threshold. We'll notify you when each threshold is met.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cloudstoragesec.com/console-overview/support/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
