Cloud Manager will no longer support Automation, Backup, and Monitoring for MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 after August 30th, 2024. Please upgrade your MongoDB deployment or migrate to Atlas.

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.

This endpoint updates the only the enabled/disabled state for the alert configuration. To update more than just this configuration, see Update an Alert Configuration.

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:

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

Name	Description
`status`	HTTP response code
`content`	Expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters

All request body parameters are required.
