# Get started with the experimental alerting system
Use these guides to get the experimental alerting system running in your space, set up role access for your team, and create your first rule.
- [Set up the experimental alerting system](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/6522/explore-analyze/alerting/kibana-alerting-experimental/get-started/setup): Review requirements, enable the `alerting:v2:enabled` advanced setting, and confirm the system is accessible in your space.
- [Configure access](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/6522/explore-analyze/alerting/kibana-alerting-experimental/get-started/configure-access): Set up a role with the Kibana feature privileges needed to create rules, triage alerts, and query alert data.
- [Create your first rule](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/6522/explore-analyze/alerting/kibana-alerting-experimental/get-started/create-your-first-rule): A hands-on tutorial that walks you through loading sample data, creating a rule, and observing the alert lifecycle from breach through automatic recovery.
