Instana Application Alert Configuration API

The API endpoints of this group can be used to manage Application alert configurations. ## Parameters: - **id:** ID of the application alert config which needs to be updated. - **name:** Name for the application alert configuration. - **description:** Description for the application alert configuration. - **severity:** The severity of the alert when triggered, which is either `5` (Warning), or `10` (Critical). - **triggering:** Optional flag to indicate whether also an Incident is triggered or not. - **applications:** Selection of application, services and endpoints in scope. The selection defines a tree of included or excluded sub entities. The defined `inclusive` flag defines whether this node and his child nodes are included (`inclusive: true`) or excluded (`inclusive: false`) by default. Empty selections or unnecessary selections are not allowed. #### Example 1: Select an entire Application Perspective To select the entire application with ID `` including all its services and endpoints, simply provide the following selection object: ```json "applications": { "": { "applicationId": "" } } ``` Leaf nodes of the selection tree default to `true` if no `inclusive` value is defined. #### Example 2: Specific selection of services and endpoints To select not the entire application with ID ``, but only the entire serivces Service1 with ID `` and Service2 with ID ``, with the exception of endpoint `` of Service2. And in addition, only Endpoint `` of Service3 with id ``, then use the following selection: ```json "applications": { "": { "applicationId": "", "inclusive": false, "services": { "": { "serviceId": "" }, "": { "serviceId": "", "inclusive": true, "endpoints": { "": { "endpointId": "", "inclusive": false } } }, "": { "serviceId": "", "inclusive": false, "endpoints": { "": { "endpointId": "", "inclusive": true } } } } } } ``` - **boundaryScope:** Boundary scope of the Application Perspective - **tagFilterExpression:** Boolean expression of tag filters to define the scope of relevant calls. - **includeInternal:** Optional flag to indicate whether also internal calls are included in the scope or not. The default is `false`. - **includeSynthetic:** Optional flag to indicate whether also synthetic calls are included in the scope or not. The default is `false`. - **evaluationType:** The alert evaluation type of the alert configuration. For example, this allows to configure whether calls of the configured scope is aggregated to a single metric that is then considered for alerting (`"PER_AP"`), or whether each service of an Appliction Perspective is is evaluated individually (`"PER_AP_SERVICE"`). - **granularity:** The evaluation granularity used for detection of violations of the defined threshold. In other words, it defines the size of the tumbling window used. - **rule:** Indicates the type of rule this alert configuration is about. - **threshold:** Indicates the type of threshold this alert rule is evaluated on . - **timeThreshold:** Indicates the type of violation of the defined threshold. - **alertChannelIds:** List of IDs of alert channels defined in Instana. ## Deprecated Parameters - **applicationId:** Unique ID of the Application Perspective.
