The alert summary section provides general alert details such as the alert's status, the severity of the alert, the alert's calculated risk score, and a link to the rule that produced the alert. These details are provided for all alerts regardless of the alert type.

The alert's reason statement is under the alert summary. The reason statement describes what generated the alert and provides general alert details. You can use this information to understand the alert's origin and determine if the alert is relevant to your investigation.

The alert details flyout also lists the number and names of cases to which the alert has been added. Click a case's names to open its details.

The *Highlighted Fields* section displays the most relevant fields for the alert type. Use this section to inform your triage efforts as you investigate the alert.

The *Alert prevalence* column shows the total number of alerts within the selected timeframe that have identical values. For example, an alert with an alert prevalence of 3 for the `host.name` field means three alerts with the same `host.name` value exist within the given timeframe. Alert prevalence data can help you investigate relationships with other alerts and gain more context about the event producing the alert.
NOTE: The *Session ID* field provides a unique ID for tracking a given Linux session and is stored in the `process.entry_leader.entity_id` field in the alert's document. To collect the session ID and other session data, you must enable the *Include session data* setting on your {endpoint-cloud-sec} integration policy. Refer to <<enable-session-view, Enable Session View data>> for more information.

The *Alert prevalence* column shows the total number of alerts within the selected time frame that have identical values. For example, an alert with an alert prevalence of 3 for the `host.name` field means three alerts with the same `host.name` value exist within the given time frame. Alert prevalence data can help you investigate relationships with other alerts and gain more context about the event producing the alert.

The *Enriched data* section displays available threat indicator matches and threat intelligence data. Click the info icon to learn more about what data is collected.
