# Changes Alarm

Using this category on the Roles page Alarms tab, you can configure the SysTrack Agent to trigger alarms for many types of system changes, such as a hardware update, settings changes, or software updates. This can be useful when trying to track down conditions that lead to a system/server crash, or perhaps to keep track of hardware for inventory purposes. Changes are not based upon a value threshold. Once a change occurs, the alarm is triggered. By default, no change alarms are enabled.

The **Changes** category is on the **Alarms** tab of a role (**Configure** > **System Configuration** > **Roles**). To turn these alarms on and change their time windows and profiles, see [Configure Alarms in a Role](/documentation/docs/configure-alarms-in-a-role).
