1. In the Grafana menu, click the **Alerting** (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
1. Click **New alert rule**. The new alerting rule page opens where the **Grafana managed alert** option is selected by default.
1. In Step 1, add the rule name.
- In **Rule name**, add a descriptive name. This name is displayed in the alert rule list. It is also the `alertname` label for every alert instance that is created from this rule.
1. In Step 1, add the rule name. The recording name must be a Prometheus metric name and contain no whitespace.
- In **Rule name**, add a descriptive name.
1. In Step 2, select **Mimir or Loki recording rule** option.
- Select your Loki or Prometheus data source, add the query to evaluate, and then select the alert condition.
- Enter a PromQL or LogQL expression. The rule fires if the evaluation result has at least one series with a value that is greater than 0. An alert is created for each series.
1. In Step 3, add the namespace, rule group, as well as additional metadata associated with the rule.
- Select your Loki or Prometheus data source.
- Enter a PromQL or LogQL query.
1. In Step 3, add the namespace and the group.
- From the **Namespace** drop-down, select an existing rule namespace. Otherwise, click Add new and enter a name to create a new one. Namespaces can contain one or more rule groups and only have an organizational purpose. For more information, see [Grafana Mimir or Loki rule groups and namespaces]({{< relref "edit-mimir-loki-namespace-group/" >}}).
- From the **Group** drop-down, select an existing group within the selected namespace. Otherwise, click **Add new** and enter a name to create a new one. Newly created rules are appended to the end of the group. Rules within a group are run sequentially at a regular interval, with the same evaluation time.
- Add a description and summary to customize alert messages. Use the guidelines in [Annotations and labels for alerting]({{< relref "../fundamentals/annotation-label/" >}}).
- Add Runbook URL, panel, dashboard, and alert IDs.
- Add custom labels.
1. Click **Save** to save the rule or **Save and exit** to save the rule and go back to the Alerting page.
1. Next, create a notification for the rule.
- From the **Group** drop-down, select an existing group within the selected namespace. Otherwise, click **Add new** and enter a name to create a new one.
1. In Step 4, add the custom labels.
- Add custom labels selecting existing key-value pairs from the drop down, or add new labels by entering the new key or value.
