Response Body

Cloud Manager will no longer support Automation, Backup, and Monitoring for MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 after August 30th, 2024. Please upgrade your MongoDB deployment or migrate to Atlas.

OAuth 2.0 authentication for programmatic access to Cloud Manager is available as a Preview feature.: The feature and the corresponding documentation might change at any time during the Preview period. To use OAuth 2.0 authentication, create a service account to use in your requests to the Cloud Manager Public API.

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.

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Necessity	Description
`PROJECT-ID`	string	Required	Unique identifier for the Project in which this alert is set.
`ALERT-ID`	string	Required	Unique identifier for the Alert.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

`status`	HTTP response code
`content`	Expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters

Field	Type	Necessity	Description
`acknowledged` `Until`	string	Conditional	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC until which the alert should be acknowledged. To acknowledge an alert "forever", set the field value to a large number of years in the future. Recommend setting to 100 years in the future. To unacknowledge an acknowledged alert, remove this parameter from your request.
`acknowledgement` `Comment`	string	Optional	Text description of the reason for this acknowledgement. Cloud Manager displays the comment next to the message that the alert has been acknowledged.
