# What are Alerts?

Alerts are a configurable action in Aiceberg that automatically sends security findings to your connected SIEM when specific signals are detected. This enables real-time threat intelligence and seamless integration with your existing security operations workflows.

## When Alerts are Sent

When you have a SIEM integration configured, Aiceberg will automatically send alerts to your SIEM for any signal where "Alert" is configured in the Profile. Learn more about configuring Profile actions in [How are Profiles Configured](/inventory/what-is-the-inventory/what-are-profiles/how-are-profiles-configured.md).

## Alert Structure

Alerts are sent as "security findings" events and include the following information.

### Core Event Data

* `activity_id`: Unique identifier for the activity (set to 1)
* `metadata.product`: Source platform (set to "Aiceberg")
* `severity_id`: Severity level (currently defaults to 4; future versions may allow per-signal severity customization)
* `state_id`: Action state—1 for monitored events, 4 for blocked events
* `type_uid`: Event type identifier—200101 for monitored events, 200103 for blocked events

### Finding Object

* `title`: "AI Interaction Flagged"
* `uid`: The prompt or event ID
* `description`: JSON object containing:
  * `signal_type`: The type of signal that triggered the alert
  * `profile_id`: The Profile identifier
  * `profile_name`: The Profile name
  * `api_key_name`: The API key used for the interaction
  * `user_id`: The user identifier
* `src_url`: Direct link to the AI interaction details in Aiceberg

### Additional Context

Alerts may also include:

* Use case ID
* Session ID
* Actions taken (blocked or modified)
* Mode (API or Cannon)
* Timestamp of the event

{% hint style="info" %}
Alert Direction: Alerts flow one-way from Aiceberg to your SIEM. Your SIEM cannot write back to Aiceberg or trigger actions within the platform.
