=== Managing Alerts
beta[]
The *Alerts* tab provides a cross-app view of alerting. Different {kib} apps like <<xpack-infra, Metrics>>, <<xpack-apm, APM>>, <<xpack-uptime, Uptime>>, and <<xpack-siem, SIEM>> can offer their own alerts, and the *Alerts* tab provides a central place to:
* <<create-edit-alerts, Create and edit>> alerts
* <<controlling-alerts, Control alerts>> including enabling/disabling, muting/unmuting, and deleting
* Drill-down to <<alert-details, alert details>>

[[create-edit-alerts]]
==== Creating and editing alerts
Many alerts must be created within the context of a {kib} app like <<xpack-infra, Metrics>>, <<xpack-apm, APM>>, or <<xpack-uptime, Uptime>>, but others are generic. Generic alert types can be created in the *Alerts* management UI by clicking the *Create* button. This will launch a flyout that guides you through selecting an alert type and configuring it's properties. Refer to <<alert-types>> for details on what types of alerts are available and how to configure them.
After an alert is created, you can re-open the flyout and change an alerts properties by clicking the *Edit* button shown on each row of the alert listing.
