The alert definitions for Observer contain data about how alerts are defined and posted. The default alert definitions are loaded when you first install Observer. However, you can export the alert definitions from one ServiceNow instance and import them to another ServiceNow instance. You can also export alert definitions if you want to make changes to those definitions without affecting your current view in Observer.
