# Create a rule using the rule builder in the experimental alerting system
The rule builder provides a guided form for creating rules without writing ES|QL by hand. The builder generates the ES|QL query automatically from structured inputs for the data source, aggregation, filters, and alert conditions.
For details on configurable rule settings and guidance on how to configure them, refer to [Configure a rule](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/6523/explore-analyze/alerting/experimental-alerting-system/rules/configure-a-rule).

## Threshold Alert

Threshold Alert is the rule type currently available in the rule builder. Use it to monitor metrics against one or more threshold conditions. Custom aggregations let you control how metric values are computed before they are compared to the threshold.
