You must have `all` privileges for the *Management* > *Stack Rules* feature or
for the *{ml-app}*, *{observability}*, or *Security* features, depending on the
`consumer` and `rule_type_id` of the rule you're creating. If the rule has
`actions`, you must also have `read` privileges for the *Management* >
*Actions and Connectors* feature. For more details, refer to
<<kibana-feature-privileges>>.

(Optional, string) Specifies a UUID v1 or v4 to use instead of a randomly

`space_id`::
(Optional, string) An identifier for the space. If `space_id` is not provided in the URL, the default space is used.

[[create-rule-api-request-body]]
==== Request body
`name`::
(Required, string) A name to reference and search.
`tags`::
(Optional, string array) A list of keywords to reference and search.
`rule_type_id`::
(Required, string) The ID of the rule type that you want to call when the rule is scheduled to run.
`schedule`::
(Required, object) The schedule specifying when this rule should be run, using one of the available schedule formats specified under
+
._Schedule Formats_.
[%collapsible%open]
=====
A schedule is structured such that the key specifies the format you wish to use and its value specifies the schedule.
We currently support the _Interval format_ which specifies the interval in seconds, minutes, hours or days at which the rule should execute.
Example: `{ interval: "10s" }`, `{ interval: "5m" }`, `{ interval: "1h" }`, `{ interval: "1d" }`.
There are plans to support multiple other schedule formats in the near future.
=====
`throttle`::
(Optional, string) How often this rule should fire the same actions. This will prevent the rule from sending out the same notification over and over. For example, if a rule with a `schedule` of 1 minute stays in a triggered state for 90 minutes, setting a `throttle` of `10m` or `1h` will prevent it from sending 90 notifications during this period.
`notify_when`::
(Required, string) The condition for throttling the notification: `onActionGroupChange`, `onActiveAlert`, or `onThrottleInterval`.
`enabled`::
(Optional, boolean) Indicates if you want to run the rule on an interval basis after it is created.
`consumer`::
(Required, string) The name of the application that owns the rule. This name has to match the Kibana Feature name, as that dictates the required RBAC privileges.
`params`::
(Required, object) The parameters to pass to the rule type executor `params` value. This will also validate against the rule type params validator, if defined.
=== {api-request-body-title}
`actions`::
(Optional, object array) An array of the following action objects.
(Optional, object array) An array of action objects.
+
.Properties of the action objects:
[%collapsible%open]
=====
`group`:::
(Required, string) Grouping actions is recommended for escalations for different types of alerts. If you don't need this, set this value to `default`.
`id`:::
(Required, string) The ID of the connector saved object to execute.
`group`:::
(Required, string) Grouping actions is recommended for escalations for different
types of alerts. If you don't need this, set this value to `default`.
`params`:::
(Required, object) The map to the `params` that the <<action-types,connector type>> will receive. ` params` are handled as Mustache templates and passed a default set of context.
`id`:::
(Required, string) The ID of the connector saved object.
`params`:::
(Required, object) The map to the `params` that the
<<action-types,connector type>> will receive. ` params` are handled as Mustache
templates and passed a default set of context.
=====
`consumer`::
(Required, string) The name of the application or feature that owns the rule.
For example: `alerts`, `apm`, `discover`, `infrastructure`, `logs`, `metrics`,
`ml`, `monitoring`, `securitySolution`, `siem`, `stackAlerts`, or `uptime`.
`enabled`::
(Optional, boolean) Indicates if you want to run the rule on an interval basis
after it is created.
`name`::
(Required, string) A name to reference and search.
`notify_when`::
(Required, string) The condition for throttling the notification:
`onActionGroupChange`, `onActiveAlert`, or `onThrottleInterval`.
`params`::
(Required, object) The parameters to pass to the rule type executor `params`
value. This will also validate against the rule type params validator, if defined.
`rule_type_id`::
(Required, string) The ID of the rule type that you want to call when the rule
is scheduled to run. For example, `.es-query`, `.index-threshold`,
`logs.alert.document.count`, `monitoring_alert_cluster_health`,
`siem.thresholdRule`, or `xpack.ml.anomaly_detection_alert`. For more
information, refer to <<rule-types>>.
`schedule`::
(Required, object) The schedule specifying when this rule should be run, using
one of the available schedule formats.
