# Creating an Alert Rule

You can create rules based on the metrics on monitored entities to generate alerts on certain conditions.

In the alert rule, you specify a set condition to take action if the condition is met. However, you must specify a clear condition and an associated clear action as well so that you can undo the earlier action.

   The Create Rule wizard is displayed.
2. Enter the details for the new rules and click Next.
