Create {kib} rules.
[NOTE]
====
For the most up-to-date API details, refer to the
{kib-repo}/tree/{branch}/x-pack/plugins/alerting/docs/openapi[open API specification].

[[create-rule-api-request]]
=== {api-request-title}
`POST <kibana host>:<port>/api/alerting/rule/<id>`
`POST <kibana host>:<port>/s/<space_id>/api/alerting/rule/<id>`
=== {api-prereq-title}
You must have `all` privileges for the appropriate {kib} features, depending on
the `consumer` and `rule_type_id` of the rules you're creating. For example, the
*Management* > *Stack Rules* feature, *Analytics* > *Discover* and *{ml-app}*
features, *{observability}*, and *Security* features. If the rule has `actions`,
you must also have `read` privileges for the *Management* >
*{connectors-feature}* feature. For more details, refer to
<<kibana-feature-privileges>>.
[[create-rule-api-path-params]]
=== {api-path-parms-title}
`<id>`::
(Optional, string) Specifies a UUID v1 or v4 to use instead of a randomly
generated ID.
`space_id`::
(Optional, string) An identifier for the space. If `space_id` is not provided in
the URL, the default space is used.
[role="child_attributes"]
[[create-rule-api-request-body]]
=== {api-request-body-title}
`actions`::
(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, which you can obtain by
using <<get-all-connectors-api>>.
`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) The name of the rule. While this name does not have to be
unique, a distinctive name can help you identify a rule.
`notify_when`::
(Required, string) Defines how often alerts generate actions. Valid values are:
+
--
* `onActionGroupChange`: Actions run when the alert status changes.
* `onActiveAlert`: Actions run when the alert becomes active and at each check
interval while the rule conditions are met.
* `onThrottleInterval`: Actions run when the alert becomes active and at the
interval specified in the `throttle` property while the rule conditions are met.
--
`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 check interval, which specifies how frequently the rule
conditions are checked. The interval must be specified in seconds, minutes,
hours or days. For example: `{ "interval": "10s" }`, `{ "interval": "5m" }`,
`{ "interval": "1h" }`, or `{ "interval": "1d" }`.
`tags`::
(Optional, string array) A list of tag names that are applied to a rule.
`throttle`::
(Optional, string) Defines how often an alert generates repeated actions.
This custom action interval must be specified in seconds, minutes, hours, or
days. For example, `10m` or `1h`. This property is used only if `notify_when`
is `onThrottleInterval`.
[[create-rule-api-request-codes]]
=== {api-response-codes-title}
`200`::
Indicates a successful call.

=== {api-examples-title}

associated with a server log connector:
