The AlertingProfile object

Configuration of an alerting profile.

Element	Type	Description
metadata	ConfigurationMetadata
id	string	The ID of the alerting profile.
displayName	string	The name of the alerting profile, displayed in the UI.
rules	AlertingProfileSeverityRule[]	A list of severity rules. The rules are evaluated from top to bottom. The first matching rule applies and further evaluation stops. If you specify both severity rule and event filter, the AND logic applies.
mzId	string	The ID of the management zone to which the alerting profile applies.
eventTypeFilters	AlertingEventTypeFilter[]	The list of event filters. For all filters that are negated inside of these event filters, that is all "Predefined" as well as "Custom" (Title and/or Description) ones the AND logic applies. For all non-negated ones the OR logic applies. Between these two groups, negated and non-negated, the AND logic applies. If you specify both severity rule and event filter, the AND logic applies.

The AlertingEventTypeFilter object

Configuration of the event filter for the alerting profile.

You have two mutually exclusive options:

Select an event type from the list of the predefined events. Specify it in the predefinedEventFilter field.
Set a rule for custom events. Specify it in the customEventFilter field.

Element	Type	Description
predefinedEventFilter	AlertingPredefinedEventFilter
customEventFilter	AlertingCustomEventFilter

The AlertingCustomEventFilter object

Configuration of a custom event filter.

Filters custom events by title or description. If both specified, the AND logic applies.

Element	Type	Description
customTitleFilter	AlertingCustomTextFilter
customDescriptionFilter	AlertingCustomTextFilter

The AlertingCustomTextFilter object

Configuration of a matching filter.

Element	Type	Description
enabled	boolean	The filter is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`).
value	string	The value to compare to.
operator	string	Operator of the comparison. You can reverse it by setting negate to `true`. The element can hold these values BEGINS_WITH CONTAINS CONTAINS_REGEX ENDS_WITH EQUALS
negate	boolean	Reverses the comparison operator. For example it turns the begins with into does not begin with.
caseInsensitive	boolean	The condition is case sensitive (`false`) or case insensitive (`true`). If not set, then `false` is used, making the condition case sensitive.

negate	boolean	The alert triggers when the problem of specified severity arises while the specified event is happening (`false`) or while the specified event is not happening (`true`). For example, if you chose the Slowdown (`PERFORMANCE`) severity and Unexpected high traffic (`APPLICATION_UNEXPECTED_HIGH_LOAD`) event with negate set to `true`, the alerting profile will trigger only when the slowdown problem is raised while there is no unexpected high traffic event. Consider the following use case as an example. The Slowdown (`PERFORMANCE`) severity rule is set. Depending on the configuration of the event filter (Unexpected high traffic (`APPLICATION_UNEXPECTED_HIGH_LOAD`) event is used as an example), the behavior of the alerting profile is one of the following:* negate is set to `false`: The alert triggers when the slowdown problem is raised while unexpected high traffic event is happening. negate is set to `true`: The alert triggers when the slowdown problem is raised while there is no unexpected high traffic event. no event rule is set: The alert triggers when the slowdown problem is raised, regardless of any events.

negate

boolean

The alert triggers when the problem of specified severity arises while the specified event is happening (false) or while the specified event is not happening (true).

For example, if you chose the Slowdown (PERFORMANCE) severity and Unexpected high traffic (APPLICATION_UNEXPECTED_HIGH_LOAD) event with negate set to true, the alerting profile will trigger only when the slowdown problem is raised while there is no unexpected high traffic event.

Consider the following use case as an example. The Slowdown (PERFORMANCE) severity rule is set. Depending on the configuration of the event filter (Unexpected high traffic (APPLICATION_UNEXPECTED_HIGH_LOAD) event is used as an example), the behavior of the alerting profile is one of the following:* negate is set to false: The alert triggers when the slowdown problem is raised while unexpected high traffic event is happening.

negate is set to true: The alert triggers when the slowdown problem is raised while there is no unexpected high traffic event.
no event rule is set: The alert triggers when the slowdown problem is raised, regardless of any events.

The AlertingProfileSeverityRule object

A severity rule of the alerting profile.

A severity rule defines the level of severity that must be met before an alert is sent our for a detected problem. Additionally it restricts the alerting to certain monitored entities.
