- At the top of the page, click Alerts and rules → Create rule.
- Select TLS rule.

Let’s create a rule to notify us when any of the TLS certificates on sites we’re monitoring are close to expiring. Let’s check every 6 hours and send a notification when an alert status changes. This means actions are not repeated when an alert remains active across checks. Actions will run only when the alert status changes.
Action types
editYou can extend your rules by connecting them to actions that use the following supported built-in integrations. Actions are Kibana services or integrations with third-party systems that run as background tasks on the Kibana server when rule conditions are met.
You can configure action types on the Settings page.
Action variables
editUse the default notification message or customize it. You can add more context to the message by clicking the icon above the message text box and selecting from a list of available variables.
Alert recovery
editTo receive a notification when the alert recovers, select Run when Recovered. Use the default notification message or customize it. You can add more context to the message by clicking the icon above the message text box and selecting from a list of available variables.
