Headers

  • kbn-xsrf string Required

    Cross-site request forgery protection

Path parameters

  • alertId string Required

    An UUID v1 or v4 identifier for the alert. If this parameter is omitted, the identifier is randomly generated.

application/json; Elastic-Api-Version=2023-10-31

Body Required

  • actions array[object]
    Hide actions attributes Show actions attributes object
    • actionTypeId string Required

      The identifier for the action type.

    • group string Required

      Grouping actions is recommended for escalations for different types of alert instances. If you don't need this functionality, set it to default.

    • id string Required

      The ID of the action saved object.

    • params object Required

      The map to the params that the action type will receive. params are handled as Mustache templates and passed a default set of context.

  • alertTypeId string Required

    The ID of the alert type that you want to call when the alert is scheduled to run.

  • consumer string Required

    The name of the application that owns the alert. This name has to match the Kibana feature name, as that dictates the required role-based access control privileges.

  • enabled boolean

    Indicates if you want to run the alert on an interval basis after it is created.

  • name string Required

    A name to reference and search.

  • notifyWhen string Required

    The condition for throttling the notification.

    Values are onActionGroupChange, onActiveAlert, or onThrottleInterval.

  • params object Required

    The parameters to pass to the alert type executor params value. This will also validate against the alert type params validator, if defined.

  • schedule object Required

    The schedule specifying when this alert should be run. A schedule is structured such that the key specifies the format you wish to use and its value specifies the schedule.

    Hide schedule attribute Show schedule attribute object
    • interval string

      The interval format specifies the interval in seconds, minutes, hours or days at which the alert should run.

  • tags array[string]

    A list of keywords to reference and search.

  • throttle string

    How often this alert should fire the same actions. This will prevent the alert from sending out the same notification over and over. For example, if an alert with a schedule of 1 minute stays in a triggered state for 90 minutes, setting a throttle of 10m or 1h will prevent it from sending 90 notifications during this period.
