Getting Alert Rule Details
Last updated on 29 November, 2023You can use LogicMonitor REST API v3 to get alert rule details. You must authenticate yourself before making the API request.
Getting List of Alert Rules
You can use the following query parameters to manage the content and format of the response.
Note: The query parameters are not part of the resource path and should not be included while calculating LMv1 authentication signature.
URI: GET /setting/alert/rules
| Parameter | Type | Description |
fields | String | The response is filtered to include only the specified fields for each object. You can provide a list of properties separated by a comma. Example – /setting/alert/rules?fields=name,id,priority |
size | Integer | The number of result to display. A maximum of 1000 results can be requested in a GET call. By default, a list of 50 alert rules is returned if a value is not provided for this parameter. Example – /setting/alert/rules?size=10 |
offset | Integer | The number of result to offset the displayed result. Example – /setting/alert/rules?offset=20 |
filter | String | The response is filtered to include only the result that includes the specified value. You can provide a list of filters separated by a comma. Example – /setting/alert/rules?filter=levelStr:"All" |
The following Python script gets ID, name, and priority of all alert rules in api.logicmonitor.com.

requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
#Construct signature
digest = hmac.new(

# Make request
response = requests.get(url, data=data, headers=headers)
# Print status and body of response
