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.

Base URL: https://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0

Resource

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/alertConfigs/{ALERT-CONFIG-ID}/alerts

Request Path Parameters

All request path parameters are required.

Parameter
Type
Description
PROJECT-ID
string
Unique identifier for this Project.
ALERT-CONFIG-ID
string
Unique identifier for this alert configuration.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pageNum
number
Optional
One-based integer that returns a subsection of results.

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 results object is an envelope. Ops Manager adds the status field to the response body.

false
backupJobsEnabledOnly
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether to exclude daemons not enabled for backing up databases from the response. Set this to false to include daemon configurations with the backupJobsEnabled flag set to false.
true

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.
