## AI overview

This tutorial explains SIEM alerts, their role in application security, and how SIEM platforms aggregate and correlate logs and security events to identify suspicious behavior. It also provides practical alert examples and describes configuring simple alerts with Honeybadger Insights.

## Source excerpt
