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.

Syntax¶

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/alerts

Request Path Parameters¶

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
`{GROUP-ID}`	Required	Project identifier.

Request Query Parameters¶

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`

status

string

Optional

Status of alerts to be returned. Omit to return all alerts.

Atlas accepts:


`TRACKING`	Atlas returns alerts with `TRACKING` status. If an alert's configuration specifies a notification delay, Atlas assigns the alert the `TRACKING` status until the delay period ends. After the delay, Atlas sets the status to `OPEN`, if the condition persists. If an alert's configuration has multiple notifications, each with its own notification delay, Atlas uses the smallest delay value to determine when to move the alert from `TRACKING` to `OPEN`.
`OPEN`	Atlas returns all open alerts.
`CLOSED`	Atlas returns all closed alerts.

Returns all alerts

Request Body Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.
