Get One Global Alert Configuration

On this page

Retrieve one global alert configuration identified by its GLOBAL-ALERT-CONFIG-ID.

Required Roles

You can successfully call this endpoint with any of the following assigned roles:

Request

Base URL: https://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0

copy 
GET /globalAlertConfigs/{GLOBAL-ALERT-CONFIG-ID}

Request Path Parameters

Name Type Necessity Description
{GLOBAL-ALERT-CONFIG-ID} string Required Unique identifier of the global alert configuration you want to retrieve.

Request Query Parameters

Name Type Necessity Description Default
pretty boolean Optional Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false
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 one result, the response body includes:

Name Description
status HTTP response code
envelope Expected response body
false

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

Response

Name Type Description
created string Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC when the alert configuration was created.
enabled boolean Toggle that specifies whether the alert configuration is enabled.
eventTypeName string

Type of event for which this alert configuration triggers an alert.

To review the types of events that generate alerts, see Alert Types.

For a complete list of events included in the Ops Manager audit log, see Audit Events.
forAllGroups boolean

Toggle that specifies whether the global alert configuration applies to all groups. Also affects whether you can use the tags array to target the configuration to specific groups.

If true, the configuration applies to all groups. You can target the alert configuration to specific groups through the tags array.

If false, the configuration applies only to the groups specified in the groupIds array. You must specify at least one project in the groupIds array. You can’t use the tags array for this alert configuration.
groupIds array of strings IDs of the groups to which this alert configuration applies. This field applies only if forAllGroups is set to false.
id string Unique identifier of the alert configuration.
matchers array of objects

Rules to apply when matching an object against this global alert configuration. Ops Manager only checks entities that match all these rules for an alert condition.

You can filter using the matchers array only when the eventTypeName specifies an event for a host, replica set, or sharded cluster.
matchers.fieldName string

Name of the field in the target object on which to match.

  • Host alerts support these fields:
    • HOSTNAME
    • PORT
    • HOSTNAME_AND_PORT
    • REPLICA_SET_NAME
    • TYPE_NAME
  • Replica set alerts support these fields:
    • REPLICA_SET_NAME
    • SHARD_NAME
    • CLUSTER_NAME
  • Sharded cluster alerts support these fields:
    • CLUSTER_NAME
    • SHARD_NAME

All other types of alerts do not support matchers.
matchers.operator string

  • EQUALS
  • NOT_EQUALS

  • NOT_CONTAINS
  • STARTS_WITH
  • ENDS_WITH

matchers.value string

Value to test with the specified operator.

If matchers.fieldName is set to TYPE_NAME, you can match on the following values:

  • PRIMARY
  • SECONDARY
  • STANDALONE
  • CONFIG
  • MONGOS
metricThreshold object Threshold that causes this alert configuration to trigger an alert. Only present if eventTypeName is set to OUTSIDE_METRIC_THRESHOLD.
metricThreshold.metricName string Name of the metric to check. Supports the same values as the metricName field of the globalAlerts resource. For a list of possible values, see Measurement Types for Global Alerts.
metricThreshold.mode string This is set to AVERAGE and computes the current metric value as an average.
metricThreshold.operator string

Operator to apply when checking the current metric value against metricThreshold.threshold. Possible values are:

  • GREATER_THAN
  • LESS_THAN
metricThreshold.threshold number Threshold value outside of which this alert configuration triggers an alert.
metricThreshold.units string

Units for metricThreshold.threshold. The value depends on the type of metric.

Example
