Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Alerts and Events Reference Guide

Manually clearing an alert

This section lists the procedure to clear an alert manually.

1. Log in and get the access token and use it in the next API calls as the access token.
2. Fetch the id of the alert, if you do not have it. To fetch the ID, you can use the "get alerts" request.
   Get alerts filtered by name, resource id and cleared timestamp

    curl --insecure -H GET "https://<host>/rest/v1/alerts?filter=name eq <alertname>&filter=resource_id eq <resource_id>&filter=cleared_timestamp eq  \"0001-01-01%2000:00:00.000000\""  -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

   If using curl, replace every white space with %20.

   The filter can be applied to almost any field and multiple filters can be used together, it is an "and" relation between them.

   In the response you get, locate the specific alert you want to clear and copy the ID field to use it in the next API call—clear an alert.

3. To clear an alert, use the POST method:
   Clear API

   https://{{host}}/rest/v1/alerts/<alert_id>/clear
   example :  
   
   curl -i --insecure -X POST "https://localhost:8443/rest/v1/alerts/0000000000000001/clear" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"
