# Detection entries

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/data-loss-prevention/detection-entries/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Detection entries are the reusable detection logic that Cloudflare DLP uses to identify sensitive content in your web traffic and SaaS applications. You can create and manage detection entries independently of DLP profiles, then add the same entry to one or more custom profiles.

Use the following pages to configure detection entries and review Cloudflare-managed predefined detections.

## Detection entry pages

* [Configure detection entries](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/data-loss-prevention/detection-entries/configure-detection-entries/) — Create and manage pattern entries, datasets, document entries, and AI prompt topics.
* [Predefined detection entries](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/data-loss-prevention/detection-entries/predefined-detection-entries/) — Review Cloudflare-managed predefined detections and their descriptions.
