Get SLA

Last modified on July 26, 2024

Get the service-level agreement (SLA) configuration by SLA ID.

To get an SLA by monitor ID, use GET /slas?monitor_id={id} instead.

Request URL

GET https://api.alertsite.com/api/v3/slas/{id}[?select=field1,field2,...]

Authentication

The request must include the Authorization header containing a user’s access token:

Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

See Authentication for more information.

Parameters

id

Integer. SLA ID.

select

String. A comma-separated list of blackout data fields to return in the response. The field names are case-sensitive. Unrecognized field names are ignored.

If this parameter is omitted, all fields are included. Note that select= with an empty value is not the same as an omitted parameter, and means no fields will be returned.

For more information, see Filter response fields.

For a list of field names that can be used in the select parameter, see SLA Object.

Response body

On success, the operation returns HTTP status 200 and a JSON representation of an SLA object.
