Get the rule types

GET /api/alerting/rule_types
Api key auth Basic auth

If you have read privileges for one or more Kibana features, the API response contains information about the appropriate rule types. For example, there are rule types associated with the Management > Stack Rules feature, Analytics > Discover and Machine Learning features, Observability features, and Security features. To get rule types associated with the Stack Monitoring feature, use the monitoring_user built-in role.
