Operations 5

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /alarms List monitoring alarms in a compartment · Oracle Cloud List Alarms #

Ask an LLM

“What monitoring alarms are set up in my compartment?”

“Where can I see every alarm defined for a compartment?”

Tell an agent

List the alarms in compartment {compartmentId}.

Show all monitoring alarms configured under {compartmentId}.

POST /alarms Create a monitoring alarm · Oracle Cloud Create Alarm #

Ask an LLM

“How do I create an alarm that fires when a metric query crosses a threshold?”

“Can an alarm send notifications to a topic when it triggers?”

Tell an agent

Create alarm {displayName} in {compartmentId}: {query} on {namespace} in {metricCompartmentId}, {severity}, enabled {isEnabled}, notify {destinations}.

Set up a {severity} alarm named {displayName} watching {query} in {namespace}, compartment {compartmentId}.

GET /alarms/{alarmId} Get an alarm's definition · Oracle Cloud Get Alarm #

Ask an LLM

“What query and severity does a particular alarm use?”

“Is a given alarm currently enabled?”

Tell an agent

Get alarm {alarmId}.

Show the query and destinations of alarm {alarmId}.

PUT /alarms/{alarmId} Change an alarm's query, severity or status · Oracle Cloud Update Alarm #

Ask an LLM

“How do I disable an alarm without deleting it?”

“Can I change the threshold query or severity of an existing alarm?”

Tell an agent

Set alarm {alarmId} enabled to {isEnabled}.

Change the query of alarm {alarmId} to {query} and severity to {severity}.

DELETE /alarms/{alarmId} Delete a monitoring alarm · Oracle Cloud Delete Alarm #

Ask an LLM

“How do I permanently remove an alarm?”

“Can I delete an alarm I no longer need?”

Tell an agent destructive · confirm first

Delete alarm {alarmId}.

Permanently remove monitoring alarm {alarmId}.
