Alerts

Overview

The Alerts API allows you to configure notifications about significant changes to your traffic based on continual tracking by Akamai’s network monitoring platform. It allows you to create and modify alerts based on a wide range of criteria, both static and dynamic, and to configure reports on anomalies. This API provides you with a programmatic interface to the same functionality available in the Luna Portal.

NOTE: The most recent version 2 of the Alerts API detailed here provides full read-write access to alerts, along with additional reporting capabilities. The previous API version 1 it replaces provides a narrower set of read-only capabilities, accessing objects you can create only in the Luna Control Center.

See the Resources section for details on each API operation and the overall developer workflow. See Data for information on the data objects the API exchanges. See Errors for details on response codes.

Who should use this API

Use this API if you want to create your own automated mechanism to manage your alerts outside of the Luna interface. You can monitor any of the following:

High or low overall traffic (static or adaptive), incomplete downloads, and percentage of edge error responses.
Problems with streaming usage, bandwidth, errors, and number of concurrent streams.
Origin infrastructure failures due to connection problems, DNS mapping errors, or inaccessible content.
Content that is too large to cache, or problems exceeding your NetStorage usage limits.
Problems with edge computation such as Java exceptions, inaccessible application servers, and server reboots.
Badly distributed load-balanced content and SaaS application failovers.
Problems with Enhanced DNS such as expired zones and failed zone transfers.
Monitor overall changes to your Luna configuration.

The API also allows you to configure all-purpose adaptive usage reports, even when not using alerting to detect specific problems.

Getting started

Before using the Beta API for the first time:

Review Get Started for API tools that Akamai provides.
Review Authorize Your Client to create your Akamai API access credentials and authorizations. As detailed in The API Identity Model, you then access the API using custom hostnames that looks like this: https://akzz-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.luna.akamaiapis.net. Note that the credentials you use to access the API may affect the amount of access control data available at runtime.
If you need help, provide feedback with the Akamai developer community, or else contact your Akamai representative for support.

Hypermedia

Throughout this API, Hypermedia links members allow automated client applications to navigate to relevant data and execute related operations.

This example from within a listing of template summaries provides a direct link to the API call necessary to access each template object, and describedBy JSON schema used to validate its contents:

{
    "links": [
        {
            "href": "/alerts/v2/alert-templates/s@1",
            "rel": "self"
        },
        {
            "href": "/alerts/v2/json-schema/alert-templates/s@1",
            "rel": "describedBy"
        }
    ]
}

In addition, href elements included within template fields indicate the availability of dynamic access control data. For example, this field definition references the API operation that lists the set of CP codes available to the client when you configure an alert:

{
    "default": [],
    "href": "/alerts/v2/access-control-data?type=cpcode&templateId=s@7",
    "itemType": "cpcode",
    "key": "aca_cpcode",
    "type": "multi-select"
}

Resources

The Alerts API allows you to configure notifications about significant changes to your traffic based on continual tracking by Akamai’s network monitoring platform. It allows you to create and modify alerts based on a wide range of criteria, and to configure reports on anomalies. This API provides you with a programmatic interface to the same functionality available in the Luna Portal.

Here’s how to use the operations listed below, and how they correspond to object types detailed in the Data section.

Templates specify the kind of information necessary to configure different types of alert. Think of these as classes of alert that define what can kind of information can be monitored. These operations exchange the Template data object type.
Alerts, also known as definitions, are alert instances based on a template and configured to respond to a specific set of criteria. Alert definitions specify when the alert should fire, and who receives the notification. Criteria can be either static, involving fixed values, or adaptive, based on a dynamic predictive modeling of your web traffic patterns. This core set of CRUD operations exchange Definition object types.
Summaries and Details offer alternatively brief and verbose information about an alert. These operations generate corresponding Summary and Details object types.
Firings are periods of time when observed traffic meets an alert’s specified criteria, and include details on why the alert triggered. See the Firing object.
Suppressions specify known anomalous periods of time to ignore when dynamically modeling your traffic, to avoid training alerts on an unrepresentative set of data. See the Suppression object type.
Activities track changes to adaptive alert criteria over time, allowing you to compare when firings occurred to when changes were made to firing criteria. See the Activity object type.
Access Control Data is information dynamically available at run-time for use in configuring alerts. See the AccessControlData object type.
Sparklines are reports that overlay data for alert firings over a range of time. See the Sparkline object type.
Schema allow you to validate the contents of any of the other JSON objects the API exchanges. All schemas adhere to draft 4 of the JSON Schema standard.
Various availability checks confirm the services on which alerts depend are operating smoothly.

Store the Template object’s templateId.
Make a GET request to /alerts/v2/alert-templates/{templateId}. The response is a Template object.

List alerts

Lists alert instances that are configured to fire under certain conditions. Optionally filter alerts by relevant fields or their values.

GET /alerts/v2/alert-definitions{?fieldName,fieldValue,ids}

Example: /alerts/v2/alert-definitions?fieldName=aca_cpcode&fieldValue=87525&ids=s%40123

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Optional
`fieldName`	String	`aca_cpcode`	Filter results to only include definitions that contain the specified field.
`fieldValue`	String	`87525`	With `fieldName` specified, further filter results based on the field’s value. This matches either a scalar value or membership within an array.
`ids`	String	`s@123`	Filter results to include a subset, repeating the parameter to specify more than one `definitionId` identifier.

Status 200 application/json

Response:

            ],
            "origin": "STATIC"
        }
    ]
}

Optionally set a relevant fieldName to search for. Results only include definitions whose fields contain the specified fieldName.
If you set a fieldName, optionally set a corresponding fieldValue to filter results further. Results only include definitions field matches the value, or includes it within an array. For example, you can limit results to a specific CP code or email recipient.
As an alternative to filtering by field, optionally set an ids to any definitionId value already available to you, repeating the parameter to specify more than one value in the subset.
Make a GET request to /alerts/v2/alert-definitions{?fieldName,fieldValue,ids}. Alert Definition results appear in the response object’s data array.

Create a new alert

Create a new alert definition based on a template. The template’s required fields represent criteria you may use to trigger an alert, but the new definition’s fields specify the set of values that actually trigger the alert. After you create a new alert, it may take a couple of minutes before it has enough information before it can fire.

Run the List Templates operation.
From the response object’s data array, choose the appropriate template summary for the alert.
Store the Template object’s templateId.
Use the templateId to run the Get a Template operation and store the full Template object.
Start forming a new definition request JSON object. Add a definitionId to the top level of the object, specifying a blank string value. (The member is required, but the value is supplied dynamically after you make the request.)
Copy the origin from the template object to the definition request object.
For each element in the template’s fields array, you need a key/value pair in the definition request’s fields object. Use its key for the member name, and base the value on the type. Most specialized types such as email represent string values, but others like multi-select require array values.
The the field’s name member, specify a unique label to help you keep track of the alert.
For the field’s definitionId member, supply a blank string value.
For the field’s templateId member, supply the already stored value. This identifies the template to validate the contents of the fields.
For any template field that features an href member, optionally use the link to access the set of values available to you at run-time. See the List Access Control Data operation for details.
Once all the fields are specified, optionally run the Get Definition Schema operation to validate the request object against the JSON schema for definitions based on the given templateId.
POST the request object to /alerts/v2/alert-definitions. The success response reflects the values back along with a definitionId key and set of relevant Hypermedia links.

Suppress alert modeling

This operation specifies a range of time for adaptive alerts to ignore when dynamically calculating a model of typical observed traffic and other behavior. For example, if a suddenly viral web asset results in a dramatic spike in traffic to your site, this operation ensures the period of increased traffic does not interfere with how your website’s ordinary expected level of traffic is modeled. You may specify a time range for the future if you anticipate a significant change to your traffic patterns. This operation only applies the ADAPTIVE alert type, and responds with an error if applied to any alert whose origin is STATIC.

POST /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/{definitionId}/suppressions{?start,end}

Example: /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/a%40123/suppressions?start=2001–01–25T00%3A01%3A82.123Z&end=2001–01–26T00%3A00%3A00.000Z

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`definitionId`	String	`a@123`	Unique identifier for the alert definition.
Optional
`end`	String	`2001-01-26T00:00:00.000Z`	Marks the end of the range of time at which an alert’s modeling is suppressed.
`start`	String	`2001-01-25T00:01:82.123Z`	Marks the start of the range of time at which an alert’s modeling is suppressed.

Status 201

Run the List Alert Summaries operation.
From the response object’s data array, select the appropriate object, for example, based on its name.
Store the object’s definitionId.
Determine the start and end of the period whose traffic you want to ignore, expressed as ISO 8601 timestamp strings.
Make a POST request to /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/{definitionId}/suppressions{?start,end}. A 201 response indicates success.

List modeling suppressions

Run the List Alert Summaries operation.
From the response object’s data array, select the appropriate object, for example, based on its name.
Store the object’s definitionId.
Make a GET request to /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/{definitionId}/suppressions. The response’s data array lists Suppression objects.

Unsuppress alert modeling

Remove a suppression object. This makes an adaptive alert definition reconsider a previously suppressed period of time when modeling your site’s expected range of behavior. This operation only applies to adaptive alerts, and responds with an error if applied to a static alert. Suppressions that are too old to affect alert firings are automatically removed, so there is no need to run this operation simply to trim them from the list of modeling suppressions.

DELETE /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/{definitionId}/suppressions/{suppressionId}

Example: /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/a%40123/suppressions/12233

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`definitionId`	String	`a@123`	Unique identifier for the alert definition.
`suppressionId`	String	`12233`	Unique identifier for the period of alert model suppression to be deleted

Status 200

Run the List Modeling Suppressions operation.
From the response object’s data array, select the Suppression object that represents the range of time you want to add back to the alert’s adaptive model.
Store the object’s suppressionId.
Make a DELETE request to /alerts/v2/alert-definitions/{definitionId}/suppressions/{suppressionId}.

List access control data

This operation lists items of relevant data available to you at runtime to apply to an alert definition. For example, when creating an alert about traffic levels for a set of CP codes, this operation allows you to list the set of CP codes to which you have access.

GET /alerts/v2/access-control-data{?type,templateId,filter}

Example: /alerts/v2/access-control-data?type=cpcode&templateId=s%40123&filter=available

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`type`	Enumeration	`cpcode`	The type of access control data on which to report. Possible values: `acggroup`, `adaptivecpcode`, `adaptivemetric`, `adaptiveprofile`, `arlfile`, `contract`, `cpcode`, `edns`, `eventlog`, `fpdomain`, `fpproperty`, `httpErrorCode`, `iphoneFileType`, `network`, `satest`, `slatest`, `sripslot`, `statest`, `stream`, `trigger`, `visibility`.
Optional
`filter`	String	`available`	When the `type` is set to `slatest`, specifies the ID to request, either `available` or `performance`.
`templateId`	String	`s@123`	When the `type` is `cpcode`, `edns`, `stream`, or `httpErrorCode`, restricts the range of data to what a specific template supports. For example, status codes in the 3xx range may not be relevant for a template that focuses on 4xx–5xx errors.

You would typically use this operation after running Get a Template and iterating through the template’s fields to build values for a Create a New Alert request.
For any relevant field name prefixed with aca_, strip the prefix and store the field name as type.
If the type is slatest, specify the filter parameter.
If the type is cpcode or httpErrorCode, specify the templateId parameter.
Make a GET request to /alerts/v2/access-control-data{?type,templateId,filter}. Within the response’s data array, the objectId of the AccessControlData object keys each data item.

This operation requires specifying a type query parameter. Each type of data you can report on corresponds to fields defined in various alert templates. The following types of data are available:

acggroup: ACG groups.
adaptivecpcode: Adaptive CP codes.
adaptivemetric: Adaptive metrics.
adaptiveprofile: Adaptive profiles.
arlfile: ARL files.
contract: Contracts.
cpcode: CP codes. Specifying an additional templateId parameter filters CP codes per template.
edns: Enhanced DNS zones.
eventlog: Eventlog events.
fpdomain: Firstpoint domains.
fpproperty: Firstpoint properties.
httpErrorCode: HTTP error codes. Requires an additional templateId to specify the appropriate template.
iphoneFileType: iPhone file types.
network: networks.
satest: Site Analyzer test.
slatest: SLA test data. Requires specifying an additional filter parameter value for availability or performance SLA data.
sripslot: SRIP slots.
statest: Stream analyser tests.
stream: Streams.
trigger: Stream trigger criteria.

Redirect

A utility operation that redirects the client to the appropriate front-end Luna interface, either for adaptive or static alerts, in case of outage or failover.

GET /alerts/redirect{?type}

Example: /alerts/redirect?type=adaptive

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Optional
`type`	String	`adaptive`	Specifies which legacy application redirect is for.

Status 307

Headers:

Location: /app/alerts/#/

List sparklines

Get a set of sparklines, reports that plot anomalies that trigger firings over a time series. Each sparkline this operation lists corresponds to an alert definition. Specifying more than one alert identifier allows you to gather related data from different alerts for potential use in overlays, for example one sparkline to identify too much traffic, and another for too little traffic.

Note that sparklines based on adaptive alerts provide observed data for both anomalies and the full range of points. Sparklines based on static alerts only provide observed data for anomalies, and the points simply define the range of the time series without any observed non-anomalous data.

GET /alerts/v2/sparklines{?definitionIds,duration,points,inclRange,adaptivecpcode,adaptivemetric}

Example: /alerts/v2/sparklines?definitionIds=a%4012938&duration=P7D&points=100&inclRange=false&adaptivecpcode=87525&adaptivemetric=mbps_to_user

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`definitionIds`	String	`a@12938`	Unique identifier for the alert to return sparklines for. Repeat the parameter to specify more than one alert.
Optional
`adaptivecpcode`	String	`87525`	If you want to access raw data for an adaptive alert before its model has been created, this specifies the same CP code as when you first create the adaptive alert. Returned data only includes the raw `y` value with no `high` and `low` range.
`adaptivemetric`	String	`mbps_to_user`	If you want to access raw data for an adaptive alert before its model has been created, this specifies the same data metric as when you first create the adaptive alert. Returned data only includes the raw `y` value with no `high` and `low` range.
`duration`	String	`P7D`	Length of time prior to the current time for which to return data, expressed as ISO 8601 durations in `PnDTnHnMn.nS` format. The default value is `P7D`, or one week. Days are considered to be exactly 24 hours long, and duration values may be capped for improve performance.
`inclRange`	Boolean	`false`	Whether to include `high` and `low` traffic predictions within data along with observed values. This only applies to adaptive alerts. The default is `false`.
`points`	Number	`100`	The number of data points to include in the report, `100` by default. A value of `0` produces all available data.

Get definition schema

Gets the JSON schema that describes the contents of a specific type of alert, depending on the template used to create it. This is useful to validate the contents of a new alert request before POSTing it.

GET /alerts/v2/json-schema/alert-definition/{templateId}

Example: /alerts/v2/json-schema/alert-definition/s%407

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`templateId`	String	`s@7`	Unique identifier for the template for which the definition schema is requested. Since each template defines a different set of fields, the data requirements for alerts vary depending on the template.

Data

This section describes all the types of data object the Alerts API exchanges. Whenever objects described here appear within a collection, an additional outer object wrapper lists them within a data array.

Template

Provides the full definition of an alert template, including fields you need to create a new alert.

Sample JSON response:

    "templateId": "s@7",
    "name": "Origin Connection Failure",
    "origin": "STATIC",

Template members

Member	Type	Required	Description
`fields`	Template.fields[]	○	Lists the set of fields required to populate an alert based on this template. Does not appear within template collections.
`firingFields`	Array	○	Lists field names that are expected to be reflected in a firing of an alert based on this template. Does not appear within template collections.
`links`	Hypermedia	✓	Links to each template and the schema that describes it.
`name`	String	✓	Name of the template.
`origin`	Enumeration	✓	Identifies the type of alert the template enables, either `STATIC` or `ADAPTIVE`. Static alert types specify raw values, while the adaptive alert type expresses standard deviations. The only available `ADAPTIVE` alert identifies excessive traffic, and its `templateId` is `a@1`.
`products`	Template.products[]	✓	Describes products associated with each template. You can only use the template if one of the `products` is on your contract.
`templateId`	String	✓	Unique identifier for the template. Template `origin` types that are `STATIC` and `ADAPTIVE` are distinguished with `s@` and `a@` prefixes.
Template.fields[]
`default`	n/a	○	The field’s default value, for use in a user interface. The data type varies depending on the field’s `type`.
`href`	String	○	A hypermedia link to the dynamic access control data available for this field.
`itemType`	String	○	Describes the content a `type` of `single-select` or `multi-select` manages, and which the associated `href` accesses.
`key`	String	✓	The field’s unique identifier.
`type`	Enumeration	✓	Identifies the semantic type of the field. Possible values are `bool` (boolean); `float` and `int` (numeric); `string`, `single-select`, and `hidden` (string); `email` and `multi-select` (array). Other object types are `edns`, `stream`, `schedule`, `maintenance-schedule`, and `adaptive-threshold`, which are all formally described in the template schema.
Template.products[]: Describes products associated with each template. You can only use the template if one of the `products` is on your contract.
`name`	String	✓	The name of the product.
`objectId`	String	✓	A unique product identifier.

Summary

Provides a high-level summary of an alert instance. The main Definition object provides the alert’s fields, and the Details object provides additional data on the alert’s firings and sparkline report.

Within collections of Summary objects, the same scopes member that appears for each alert in the Details object is placed at the top level of the collection, as a sibling of the data array.

Sample GET response:

{
    "name": "High Traffic - production web portal",
    "definitionId": "s@1623",
    "lastTriggered": "2012-10-31T23:59:59Z",
    "links": [
        { "rel": "describedBy", "href": "/alerts/v2/json-schema/alert-summaries" },
        { "rel": "self", "href": "/alerts/v2/alert-summaries/s@1623" },
        { "rel": "details", "href": "/alerts/v2/alert-summaries/s@1623/details" }
    ]
}

Summary members

Member	Type	Required	Description
`definitionId`	String	✓	Unique identifier for each alert definition.
`lastTriggered`	String	✓	ISO 8601 format timestamp for the most recent moment the alert was firing.
`links`	Hypermedia	✓	Links to each alert and the schema that describes it.
`name`	String	✓	Descriptive label for the alert.

Definition

Specifies an instance of an alert, including the fields that set the criteria under which it fires. Use this object rather than the alert Summary or Details when creating and modifying alerts.

This sample GET response shows an ADAPTIVE alert based on the a@1 template, which expresses variance in terms of standard deviations rather than fixed values used for STATIC origin types:

Definition members

Member	Type	Required	Description
`accountId`	String	✓	Unique identifier for the account under which the alert was created.
`definitionId`	String	✓	Unique identifier for each alert definition.
`editInfo`	Definition.editInfo	✓	A summary of the alert’s creation time and most recent edit.
`fields`	Object	✓	The set of criteria that determines when the alert fires. The object’s members vary depending on the template on which the alert is based. However, all `fields` include a `name`, the `templateId` on which the alert was based, and an array of `email` addresses for the alert’s recipients.
`links`	Hypermedia	✓	Links to the alert and the schema that describes it.
`origin`	Enumeration	✓	Identifies the type of alert the template enables, either `STATIC` or `ADAPTIVE`. Static alert types specify raw values, while the adaptive alert type expresses standard deviations. The only available `ADAPTIVE` alert identifies excessive traffic, and its `templateId` is `a@1`.
Definition.editInfo: A summary of the alert’s creation time and most recent edit.
`active`	Boolean	✓	When the alert `origin` is `STATIC`, indicates if the alert is allowed to fire. A `false` value may be due to variations in account and contract status that leaves the alert configured but inactive.
`createdAt`	String	✓	ISO 8601 timestamp for when the alert was created.
`createdBy`	String	✓	The user who created the alert.
`editAt`	String	✓	ISO 8601 timestamp for when the alert was last edited.
`editBy`	String	✓	The user who last edited the alert.

Details

Provides verbose information about an alert instance: not only its main fields definition, but its history of firings and a sparkline report.
