Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/alertConfigs
Parameter
Required/Optional
Description
{GROUP-ID}
Required
Project identifier.

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pageNum
integer
Optional
Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.
1
itemsPerPage
integer
Optional
Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.
100
includeCount
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.
true
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps 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.

Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.

false

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

The response includes the totalCount of the alert configurations and a results array which lists all alert configurations for the group. Each alert configuration details include:

Note

Alert configurations vary. An alert configuration may only include a subset of these elements.

Name
Type
Description
id
string
Unique identifier of the alert configuration.
groupId
string
Unique identifier of the project that owns this alert configuration.
eventTypeName
string

Human-readable label that indicates the type of event.

Accepted values are:

Important

The complete list of event type values changes frequently.
