What have you tried so far? [Alerting | Kibana Guide [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.16/alerting-getting-started.html) should be able to do what you want though.

Hi,  
I am using freeware version of it on standalone machine on Windows 10 Pro.  
Metricbeat is showing the details but when in click on Security\>Alerts: it says Detection engine permission required (You do not have the required permissions for viewing the detection engine)
