# Classify and analyze data using entities in Microsoft Sentinel
1212

13-
When alerts are sent to or generated by Microsoft Sentinel, they contain data items that Sentinel can recognize and classify into categories as **entities**. When Microsoft Sentinel understands what kind of entity a particular data item represents, it knows the right questions to ask about it, and it can then compare insights about that item across the full range of data sources, and easily track it and refer to it throughout the entire Sentinel experience - analytics, investigation, remediation, hunting, and so on. Some common examples of entities are users, hosts, files, processes, IP addresses, and URLs.
