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 configuration.

Name	Type	Description
`created`	string	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC when the alert configuration was created.
`enabled`	boolean	Toggle that specifies whether the alert configuration is enabled.
`eventTypeName`	string	Type of event for which this alert configuration triggers an alert. To review the types of events that generate alerts, see Alert Types. For a complete list of events included in the Ops Manager audit log, see Audit Events.
`forAllGroups`	boolean	Toggle that specifies whether the global alert configuration applies to all groups. Also affects whether you can use the `tags` array to target the configuration to specific groups. If `true`, the configuration applies to all groups. You can target the alert configuration to specific groups through the `tags` array. If `false`, the configuration applies only to the groups specified in the `groupIds` array. You must specify at least one project in the `groupIds` array. You can't use the `tags` array for this alert configuration.
`groupIds`	array of strings	IDs of the groups to which this alert configuration applies. This field applies only if `forAllGroups` is set to `false`.
`id`	string	Unique identifier of the alert configuration.
`matchers`	array of objects	Rules to apply when matching an object against this global alert configuration. Ops Manager only checks entities that match all these rules for an alert condition. You can filter using the `matchers` array only when the `eventTypeName` specifies an event for a host, replica set, or sharded cluster.
`matchers.fieldName`	string	Name of the field in the target object on which to match. Host alerts support these fields: `HOSTNAME` `PORT` `HOSTNAME_AND_PORT` `REPLICA_SET_NAME` `TYPE_NAME` Replica set alerts support these fields: `REPLICA_SET_NAME` `SHARD_NAME` `CLUSTER_NAME` Sharded cluster alerts support these fields: `CLUSTER_NAME` `SHARD_NAME` All other types of alerts do not support matchers.
`matchers.operator`	string	Operator to test the field's value. Possible values are: `EQUALS` `NOT_EQUALS` `CONTAINS` `NOT_CONTAINS` `STARTS_WITH` `ENDS_WITH` `REGEX`
`matchers.value`	string	Value to test with the specified operator. If `matchers.fieldName` is set to `TYPE_NAME`, you can match on the following values: `PRIMARY` `SECONDARY` `STANDALONE` `CONFIG` `MONGOS`

`metricThreshold.mode`	string	This is set to `AVERAGE` and computes the current metric value as an average.
`metricThreshold.operator`	string	Operator to apply when checking the current metric value against `metricThreshold.threshold`. Possible values are: `GREATER_THAN` `LESS_THAN`
