You can update the values, but you’ll need to us the APIs to do this. When sending a new “source” element, you need to include all fields - it will not merge omitted source child elements in with the existing source:
PUT api/v1/clusters/<cluster-name>/alert_definitions/<definition-id> { "AlertDefinition" : { "source" : { "type": "SCRIPT", "path": "alert_disk_space.py", "parameters": [ { "name": "minimum.free.space", "display_name": "Minimum Free Space", "value": 5000000000, "type": "NUMERIC", "description": "The overall amount of free disk space left before an alert is triggered.", "units": "bytes", "threshold": "WARNING" }, { "name": "percent.used.space.warning.threshold", "display_name": "Warning", "value": 0.5, "type": "PERCENT", "description": "The percent of disk space consumed before a warning is triggered.", "units": "%", "threshold": "WARNING" }, { "name": "percent.free.space.critical.threshold", "display_name": "Critical", "value": 0.8, "type": "PERCENT", "description": "The percent of disk space consumed before a critical alert is triggered.", "units": "%", "threshold": "CRITICAL" } ] } } On Jun 18, 2015, at 10:05 AM, Sumit Mohanty <smoha...@hortonworks.com<mailto:smoha...@hortonworks.com>> wrote: Does this have the details you need? https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/branch-2.0.0/ambari-server/docs/api/v1/alert-definitions.md -Sumit ________________________________________ From: Eirik Thorsnes <eirik.thors...@uni.no> Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2015 2:58 AM To: user@ambari.apache.org Subject: Ambari 2.1.0-snap: Alert configuration location Hi, I'm looking at Ambari 2.1.0 compiled from git. In JIRA AMBARI-10816 it was added the possibility to use configuration instead of hard-coded values for alerts (as I understand it). Where do I set these configurations? For e.g.: the configuration percent.used.space.warning.threshold in the alert_disk_space.py script. Thanks, Eirik -- Eirik Thorsnes
