Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/alertConfigs/{ALERT-CONFIG-ID}

All request path parameters are required.

envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap 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.

For endpoints that return a list of results, the content object is an envelope. Cloud Manager adds the status field to the response body.

false
backupJobsEnabledOnly
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether to exclude daemons not enabled for backing up databases from the response. Set this to false to include daemon configurations with the backupJobsEnabled flag set to false.
