Archive an alert

Permanently disable an alert and remove it from active monitoring across all customers. Archived alerts stop evaluating immediately and can optionally release their uniqueness key for reuse in future alert configurations.

Use this endpoint to:

• Decommission alerts that are no longer needed
• Clean up test or deprecated alert configurations
• Free up uniqueness keys for reuse with new alerts
• Stop alert evaluations without losing historical configuration data
• Disable outdated monitoring rules during pricing model transitions

Key response fields:

• data: Object containing the archived alert’s ID
• Alert evaluation stops immediately for all affected customers
• Historical alert data and configurations remain accessible for audit purposes

Usage guidelines:

• Irreversible for evaluation: Archived alerts cannot be re-enabled; create a new alert to resume monitoring
• Uniqueness key handling: Set release_uniqueness_key : true to reuse the key in future alerts
• Immediate effect: Alert evaluation stops instantly across all customers
• Historical preservation: Archive operation maintains alert history and configuration for compliance and auditing
