Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/alerts

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
PROJECT-ID	string	(Required.) Project identifier.

Request Query Parameters

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pageNum	number	Optional	One-based integer that returns a subsection of results.	`1`
itemsPerPage	number	Optional	Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.	`false`
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set `envelope : true` in the query. For endpoints that return a list of results, the `content` object is an envelope. Ops Manager adds the `status` field to the response body.	`false`

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
`status`	string	Optional	Specify a status to return only those alerts with the specified status. Omit to return all alerts. Ops Manager accepts the following values: `TRACKING` To return alerts with `TRACKING` status. If an alert's configuration specifies a notification delay, Ops Manager assigns the alert the `TRACKING` status until the delay period ends. After the delay, Ops Manager sets the status to `OPEN`, if the condition persists. If an alert's configuration has multiple notifications, each with its own notification delay, Ops Manager uses the smallest delay value to determine when to move the alert from `TRACKING` to `OPEN`. `OPEN` To return all open alerts. `CLOSED` To return all closed alerts.

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

Response

Response Document

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.

Name	Type	Description
`results`	array	Array includes one object for each item detailed in the `results` Embedded Document section.
`links`	array	Array includes one or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
`totalCount`	number	Integer count of the total number of items in the result set. It may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.

`results` Embedded Document

Each result is one alert.
