Update Group-level Thresholds
Last updated on 26 February, 2021You can use LogicMonitor’s REST API to update group level thresholds for particular datasources.
Note: As with all of our API calls, authentication is required.
HTTP Method: PUT
URI: /device/groups/{groupId}/datasources/{datasourceId}/alertsettings
Where:
- {groupId} is the id of the group you’d like to see thresholds for. You can get group Ids from a GET request to the groups resource.
- {datasourceId} is the id of the datasource you’d like to see thresholds for. You can get datasource Id by making a GET request to /device/groups/{groupId}/datasources
Request Parameters: You can include the following parameters in a PUT request:
When you update group level thresholds, you need to include a JSON object ‘dpConfig’ in your request. This object should include thresholds for one or more datapoints, where for each datapoint you can specify:
Property |
Required? |
Description |
| dataPointId | No – one of dataPointId and dataPointName are required | The id of the datapoint associated with the threshold you’d like to update |
| dataPointName | No – one of dataPointId and dataPointName are required | The name of the datapoint associated with the threshold you’d like to update |
| alertExpr | No – defaults to no thresholds | The thresholds that should be associated with the datapoint. Note that there needs to be a space between the operator and each threshold (e.g. > 1 2 3) |
| disableAlerting | No – defaults to false | Whether or not alerting will be disabled for the datapoint |
Example
The following Python script sets a group level threshold of >1 for the StatusCheckFailed_System datapoint, datasource 678 (AWS_EC2 datasource), group 55:
