Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Path Parameters

string

required

Alert ID

Body

application/json

At least one of "channel" or "channels" must be provided. Sending both is allowed only when "channel" matches the first entry of "channels", so a response body can be echoed back unchanged. Responses always include both, with "channel" mirroring the first entry of "channels". Updates replace the alert's configuration rather than merging it: sending only the legacy "channel" field for an alert that has several channels reduces it to that one channel. Fetch the alert and resend the complete "channels" array to preserve them.

threshold

number

required

Threshold value for triggering the alert. For between and not_between threshold types, this is the lower bound.

Example:

100

interval

enum<string>

required

Evaluation interval for the alert.

Available options:

1m,

5m,

15m,

30m,

1h,

6h,

12h,

1d

Example:

"1h"

thresholdType

enum<string>

required

Threshold comparison direction.

Available options:

above,

below,

above_exclusive,

below_or_equal,

equal,

not_equal,

between,

not_between

Example:

"above"

dashboardId

string | null

Dashboard ID for tile-based alerts.

Example:

"65f5e4a3b9e77c001a567890"

tileId

string | null

Tile ID for tile-based alerts. Must be a line, stacked bar, or number type tile.

Example:

"65f5e4a3b9e77c001a901234"

savedSearchId

string | null

Saved search ID for saved_search alerts.

Example:

"65f5e4a3b9e77c001a345678"

groupBy

string | null

Group-by key for saved search alerts.

Example:

"ServiceName"

chartConfig

object

Chart configuration for inline alerts. Required when source is "inline" and rejected otherwise. Returned on single-alert responses (GET by ID, POST, PUT); the list endpoint omits it.

Show child attributes

thresholdMax

number | null

Upper bound for between and not_between threshold types. Required when thresholdType is between or not_between, must be >= threshold.

Example:

500

scheduleOffsetMinutes

integer | null

Offset from the interval boundary in minutes. For example, 2 with a 5m interval evaluates windows at :02, :07, :12, etc. (UTC).

Required range: x >= 0

Example:

2

scheduleStartAt

string<date-time> | null

Absolute UTC start time anchor. Alert windows start from this timestamp and repeat every interval.

Example:

"2026-02-08T10:00:00.000Z"

source

enum<string>

Alert source type (tile-based or saved search).

Available options:

saved_search,

tile,

inline

Example:

"tile"

channel

object

First notification channel, mirrored from "channels" for pre-multi-channel clients.

Show child attributes

channels

object[]

All notification channels to trigger when the alert fires or resolves.

Required array length: 1 - 10 elements

Show child attributes

name

string | null

Alert name template (Handlebars), rendered as the notification title. When omitted, a default title is generated from the display name, value and threshold.

Example:

"Errors for {{group}} hit {{value}}"

displayName

string | null

Display name shown in the alerts list and in notification titles. Defaults to the name of the referenced saved search, dashboard tile, or inline chart when omitted or null.

Required string length: 1 - 512

Example:

"Checkout error spike"

Response

Successfully updated alert

data

object

The alert object.
