Delete an action policy Experimental

DELETE /api/alerting/v2/action_policies/{id}

Spaces method and path for this operation:

delete /s/{space_id}/api/alerting/v2/action_policies/{id}

Refer to Spaces for more information.

Deletes the action policy whose ID you include in the URL path. Use the id returned when you created the policy, or from get or list. This request has no body.

[Required authorization] Route required privileges: manage_alerting-v2-action-policies.

Headers

kbn-xsrf string Required

A required header to protect against CSRF attacks

Path parameters

id string Required

The ID of the action policy. Copy it from the response when you create a policy, fetch one policy, or fetch the policy list. Chosen at creation and permanent — it cannot be changed afterwards. Re-using the id of a deleted resource is allowed but discouraged: execution history, change history, and alert episodes recorded under that id are retained and are attributed to the new resource. Ids appear in URLs and logs, so keep them free of sensitive data.

Minimum length is 1, maximum length is 150. Format should match the following pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$.
