    determining, by the first host machine, a first notification level for the first notification;

    determining, by the first host machine, a first preference level specified by a user, wherein the first preference level is specified for the first host machine, wherein a second upgrade process executing on a second host machine generates a second notification, wherein the second upgrade process is for upgrading a second software application on the second host machine, wherein the second notification includes information related to the second upgrade process, and wherein a second preference level specified by the user for the second host machine is different than the first preference level specified for the first host machine;

    comparing, by the first host machine, the first notification level to the first preference level to determine whether to send the first notification to the user from the first host machine;

    sending, by the first host machine, the first notification to the user from the first host machine only upon determining that the first notification level is the same as or higher than the first preference level; and

    not sending, by the first host machine, the first notification to the user from the first host machine upon determining that the first notification level is lower than the first preference level.
