Signals

Supported signal types

FrameRadar uses these v1 signal definitions to explain events, apply default severity, and generate clearer alerts.

Auth

Login failed

auth.login_failed

Default low

A login attempt failed.

Recommendation: Review authentication activity and rate limits for the affected account or source.

Login succeeded from new location

auth.login_succeeded_from_new_location

Default low

A user signed in from a location, network, or device not previously seen by the application.

Recommendation: Ask the account owner to confirm the sign-in when the context looks unusual.

Password reset requested

auth.password_reset_requested

Default info

A password reset flow was requested for an account.

Recommendation: Review repeated reset requests for abuse or account takeover attempts.

MFA challenge failed

auth.mfa_challenge_failed

Default low

A multi-factor authentication challenge failed.

Recommendation: Review recent sign-in attempts and consider prompting the user to secure the account.

Security

Permission denied

security.permission_denied

Default low

A request was denied by authorization rules.

Recommendation: Confirm the denied action was expected and investigate repeated attempts against sensitive resources.

Suspicious request blocked

security.suspicious_request_blocked

Default medium

A request was blocked because it matched a suspicious or abusive pattern.

Recommendation: Review the blocked request pattern and tighten controls if similar attempts continue.

CSRF validation failed

security.csrf_validation_failed

Default low

A request failed CSRF validation or an equivalent request-origin protection check.

Recommendation: Check whether failures are isolated client issues or repeated attempts against state-changing routes.

Rate limit exceeded

security.rate_limit_exceeded

Default low

A client exceeded a rate limit.

Recommendation: Review rate-limit thresholds and investigate repeated activity from the same source.

Application

Error rate increased

application.error_rate_increased

Default medium

The application observed an elevated error rate.

Recommendation: Review recent deploys, affected routes, and error samples to identify the cause.

Background job failed

application.background_job_failed

Default low

A background job, task, or asynchronous worker operation failed.

Recommendation: Check job retries, queue health, and the failure reason for repeated or business-critical failures.

Deployment completed

application.deployment_completed

Default info

A deployment completed.

Feature flag changed

application.feature_flag_changed

Default info

A feature flag, runtime toggle, or comparable behavior switch changed.

Recommendation: Confirm the change was expected, especially for production or security-sensitive flags.

Configuration

Debug mode enabled

configuration.debug_mode_enabled

Default medium

Debug or verbose error output is enabled in an environment where it may expose sensitive details.

Recommendation: Disable debug output in public or production environments and rotate exposed secrets if needed.

Security header missing

configuration.security_header_missing

Default low

An expected security header is missing.

Recommendation: Add the missing header where appropriate and verify it is present on public responses.

Secret rotation due

configuration.secret_rotation_due

Default info

A secret, token, or credential is due for rotation.

Recommendation: Rotate the credential according to policy and confirm dependent services use the new value.

Integration disconnected

configuration.integration_disconnected

Default low

An expected integration stopped sending data or failed connectivity checks.

Recommendation: Restore the integration so monitoring and security visibility remain complete.

System

Health check failed

system.health_check_failed

Default low

A health check failed for a service, endpoint, or component.

Recommendation: Investigate the failing component and confirm whether users are affected.

Resource usage high

system.resource_usage_high

Default medium

A runtime resource crossed a configured threshold.

Recommendation: Review resource trends and scale or optimize the affected component if pressure persists.

Clock drift detected

system.clock_drift_detected

Default low

A system clock drifted beyond an acceptable threshold.

Recommendation: Verify time synchronization because clock drift can affect authentication, signatures, and audit trails.

Queue backlog high

system.queue_backlog_high

Default medium

A queue or asynchronous work backlog exceeded an expected threshold.

Recommendation: Review worker capacity and failing jobs so queued work can drain normally.

Connector offline

system.connector_offline

Default high

A connected application has not reported a heartbeat within the expected window.

Recommendation: Check the connector process, application logs, and network access to FrameRadar.
