# Alerts

> Findings a custom detection rule matched, and the alert-rule library that produces them.

Alerts is the queue of **detection-rule firings**. Model-flagged findings live on [Anomalies](https://hilt.ai/docs/dashboard/anomalies.md).

Two tabs: **Queue** and **Rules**. Rules requires the **manage alerts** permission.

***

## Tab: Queue

Findings a custom rule matched — severity, rule name, actor, host, and time. Open a row for evidence, then continue in [Logs](https://hilt.ai/docs/dashboard/logs.md).

***

## Tab: Rules

Subtitle: *Custom if-this-then-alert rules over live telemetry*.

| Column | Content |
| - | - |
| **On** | Enable / disable |
| **Name** | Rule name and label |
| **Severity** | High / medium / low |
| **Fires** | Fire count |
| **Last** | Last fire time |
| **Actions** | View related findings, edit, delete |

**New Rule** and **Create with AI** open the builder (`/alerts/rules/new`). Rules can evaluate **per event** or as a **time aggregate** (count / sum / average over a window) with conditions on process, file, network, and identity fields.

When a rule matches it raises a finding into this queue.
