Akamai Cloud Pulse (ACLP) now includes support for cloning alerts and grouping metric data by dimensions when creating or updating alert definitions.

Added

New operation has been added to the Monitor - Alerts sub-category:

• Clone an alert definition (POST /monitor/services/{serviceType}/alert-definitions/{alertId}/clone)

Updated

Several operations now offer the group_by array. It aggregates metric data by dimension so that alert conditions are evaluated independently, for each dimension value.

• Create an alert definition (POST /monitor/services/{serviceType}/alert-definitions). Define the group_by parameters in a new alert definition.
• Update an alert definition (PUT /monitor/services/{serviceType}/alert-definitions/{alertId}). Modify an existing alert definition to set group_by parameters.
• Clone an alert definition (POST /monitor/services/{serviceType}/alert-definitions/{alertId}/clone). Set the group_by parameter in a clone of an existing alert definition.
• List alert definitions (GET /monitor/alert-definitions). See the group_by settings for all of your alert definitions.
• Get an alert definition (GET /monitor/services/{serviceType}/alert-definitions/{alertId}). See the group_by settings for a specific alert definition.
• List alert definitions for a service type (GET /monitor/services/{serviceType}/alert-definitions). See the group_by settings for all alert definitions from a specific Akamai Cloud service.
