# Configure global settings

Customizing alert settings enables you to minimize unnecessary distractions from false positives, reduce noise, and focus on critical alerts in a timely and efficient way.

You can customize these alert settings for all alert types: 

* [Alert notifications ](/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/configure-alerts/configure-global-settings/alert-notifications.md)- Get notified by email or Slack whenever an alert is generated 
* [Sensitive keywords](/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/configure-alerts/configure-global-settings/sensitive-keywords.md) -  Configure keywords to trigger or suppress alerts based on the file name
* [Agentic alert exclusions](/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/configure-alerts/configure-global-settings/agentic-alert-exclusions.md) - Exclude specific actors and targets, including domains, from agentic alerts
* [Alert archiving](/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/configure-alerts/configure-global-settings/alert-archiving.md) - Configure automatic archiving of suppressed or resolved alerts to minimize noise in your alert inbox
* [SIEM integration](/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/configure-alerts/configure-global-settings/siem-integration.md) - Push alerts downstream to investigate in your SIEM connector

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/alerts/configure-alerts/configure-global-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
