Enable or disable one global alert configuration identified by its GLOBAL-ALERT-CONFIG-ID.

You can successfully call this endpoint with any of the following assigned roles:

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

PUT /globalAlertConfigs/{GLOBAL-ALERT-CONFIG-ID}

boolean
Optional
Flag indicating 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 one result, the response body includes:

Name

status
HTTP response code
envelope

Description
enabled
boolean
Required

Toggle indicating whether the global alert configuration is enabled or disabled:

  • Set to true to enable a global alert configuration.

  • Set to false to disable a global 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.

If matchers.fieldName is set to TYPE_NAME, you can match on the following values:

  • PRIMARY

  • SECONDARY

  • CONFIG

  • MONGOS

metricThreshold
object
Threshold that causes this alert configuration to trigger an alert. Only present if eventTypeName is set to OUTSIDE_METRIC_THRESHOLD.
metricThreshold.metricName
string
Name of the metric to check. Supports the same values as the metricName field of the globalAlerts resource. For a list of possible values, see Measurement Types for Global Alerts.
metricThreshold.mode
string

metricThreshold.operator
string

Operator to apply when checking the current metric value against metricThreshold.threshold. Possible values are:

  • GREATER_THAN

  • LESS_THAN

metricThreshold.threshold
number
Threshold value outside of which this alert configuration triggers an alert.
metricThreshold.units
string

Units for metricThreshold.threshold. The value depends on the type of metric.

Note

After you create a third-party integration that requires an API or integration key, the key appears partially redacted when you:

  • View or edit the alert through the UI.

  • Query the third-party integration settings through the API.

Note

After creating a webhook notification, the URL will appear partially redacted when you view or edit the alert, and the secret will appear completely redacted.

notifications.[n]
.webhookUrl
