Can the API get the alert rule associated to a datapoint on a DS instance?

I have been hunting through the swagger docs, and I can’t seem to find a way to get the alert rule or alert routing being applied to a specific datapoint on a specific datasource instance. I’ve looke...

    If you want to use the API, you technically can see the routing but the endpoint is not supported and listed. I can’t speak on how reliable it is…

    You call /alertsettings/{datapointID}/recipients

    But with all that said, you can also just run an Alert Threshold report. You can even run it with ‘Only show custom thresholds’ enabled.

When I check out the V3 API ( https://www.logicmonitor.com/swagger-ui-master/api-v3/dist/ ) swagger docs, I dont find any option for alertsettings/{id}/recipients or anything like that. Even when I just search the whole thing for recipients, I’m not seeing anything. Weird. I had previously combed the page for every occurrence of alertsettings. I guess I could just try it.

I’d rather use the API because I’m looking for 2 recipients that I want to flag as a problem, and I’d like to turn some code into a ConfigSource that throws me an alert if it sees either of the 2 options I want to screen for.

But I had totally overlooked the Alert Threshold report. I didnt even see the report, much less the columns. Thanks! I can at least set that up. I dont need the custom thresholds toggle, but its good to know about. Let me know if I missed something in the swagger docs, because I cant find the alertsettings/{id}/recipients, but the report should be good.

Cheers!
