GET /v1/alert/rules

Summary

Retrieve the definition of all alert rules previously installed in this REST API instance using the /v1/alert/{name} service.

URL Parameters
database? Perform this operation on the named content database instead of the default content database associated with the REST API instance. Using an alternative database requires the "eval-in" privilege; for details, see Security Requirements in the REST Application Developer's Guide.
format? The expected content type of the results. This is equivalent to specifying the format in the Accept header. The format parameter overrides the Accept header if both are present. Accepted values: xml and json. Default: xml.
Request Headers
Accept* The expected MIME type of the information in the response. Accepted types: application/json or application/xml. Ignored if the request includes a format parameter value.
Response Headers
Content-type The MIME type of the data in the response, either application/json or application/xml, depending upon the MIME type requested through the format parameter or Accept header on the request.

Response

On success, MarkLogic Server responds with a 200 status. The data in the response body is definitions of all installed rules. Results can be returned as either XML or JSON, depending up on the format request parameter or the Accept header setting. For details on the format of rule definitions, see Defining an Alerting Rule in the REST Application Developer's Guide.

If the Alerting API is not enabled, MarkLogic Server returns status 403.

Required Privileges

This operation requires the rest-reader role, or the following privilege:

Usage Notes

The expected response type can be specified using either the format parameter or Accept header. One or the other must be supplied. If both are supplied and are different, the format parameter takes precedence.
