Get an Alert Configuration

Note

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

Resource

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

Request Path Parameters

All request path parameters are required.

Parameter Type Description
PROJECT-ID string Unique identifier for this Project.
ALERT-CONFIG-ID string Unique identifier for this alert configuration.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name Type Necessity Description Default
pageNum number Optional One-based integer that returns a subsection of results. 1
itemsPerPage number Optional Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500. 100
pretty boolean Optional Flag that indicates 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 a list of results, the results object is an envelope. Cloud Manager adds the status field to the response body.

false

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.
