Update Group-level Thresholds

You 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:
