Acknowledge One Alert from One Project

PATCH /api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{groupId}/alerts/{alertId}

Confirms receipt of one existing alert. This alert applies to any component in one project. Acknowledging an alert prevents successive notifications. You receive an alert when a monitored component meets or exceeds a value you set until you acknowledge the alert. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Organization Owner or Project Owner role.

This resource remains under revision and may change.

Path parameters

  • groupId string Required

    Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.

    NOTE: 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.

    Format should match the following pattern: ^([a-f0-9]{24})$.

  • alertId string Required

    Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the alert.

    Format should match the following pattern: ^([a-f0-9]{24})$.

Query parameters

  • envelope boolean

    Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an envelope JSON object. 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. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.

    Default value is false.

  • pretty boolean

    Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.

    Default value is false.

    Prettyprint
application/json

Body Required

Acknowledges or unacknowledges one alert.

  • acknowledgedUntil string(date-time)

    Date and time until which this alert has been acknowledged. This parameter expresses its value in the ISO 8601 timestamp format in UTC. The resource returns this parameter if a MongoDB User previously acknowledged this alert.

    • To acknowledge this alert forever, set the parameter value to 100 years in the future.

    • To unacknowledge a previously acknowledged alert, do not set this parameter value.

    ISO 8601
  • acknowledgementComment string

    Comment that a MongoDB Cloud user submitted when acknowledging the alert.

    Maximum length is 200.
