Create Scheduled Alert

(v2)

POST

Creates an alert that re-runs an aggregate query on a schedule and notifies when the result crosses the threshold, and returns its id. Notifications are delivered through the project's integrations that have alerting enabled for the alert's severity, so an alert in a project with no such integration still evaluates but reaches nobody.

severityenum
How urgent the alert is. It also decides who hears about it: an integration receives an alert only when it subscribes to that severity.
Show 4 enum valuesHide 4 enum values
- CRITICAL
- ERROR
- WARNING
- INFO
namestringRequired
A name for the alert, shown in the notification.
typeenum
What the alert watches. THRESHOLD alerts compare an aggregation against thresholdSettings. REGRESSION, ANOMALY and SIGNAL_SPIKE alerts notify on every run while Confident AI detects one inside the alert's filters, as configured by detectionSettings. Defaults to THRESHOLD.
Show 4 enum valuesHide 4 enum values
- THRESHOLD
- REGRESSION

- SIGNAL_SPIKE

What kind of production item an alert measures over. TRACE and SPAN alerts aggregate single requests; THREAD alerts aggregate conversations.

aggregationstring
What to measure, as an aggregation token. Which tokens are valid depends on dataModel: TRACE accepts COUNT, ERROR_RATE, PASS_RATE, UNIQUE_END_USERS, UNIQUE_THREADS, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; SPAN accepts COUNT, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, ERROR_RATE, ERROR_COUNT, INPUT_COST, OUTPUT_COST, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, INPUT_TOKENS, OUTPUT_TOKENS, TOTAL_TOKENS, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; LLM_SPAN accepts COUNT, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, ERROR_RATE, ERROR_COUNT, INPUT_COST, OUTPUT_COST, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, INPUT_TOKENS, OUTPUT_TOKENS, TOTAL_TOKENS, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; AGENT_SPAN accepts COUNT, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, ERROR_RATE, ERROR_COUNT, INPUT_COST, OUTPUT_COST, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; RETRIEVER_SPAN accepts COUNT, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, ERROR_RATE, ERROR_COUNT, INPUT_COST, OUTPUT_COST, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; TOOL_SPAN accepts COUNT, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, ERROR_RATE, ERROR_COUNT, INPUT_COST, OUTPUT_COST, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; CUSTOM_SPAN accepts COUNT, AVG_LATENCY, P50_LATENCY, P90_LATENCY, P99_LATENCY, ERROR_RATE, ERROR_COUNT, INPUT_COST, OUTPUT_COST, TOTAL_COST, AVG_COST, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES; THREAD accepts COUNT, UNIQUE_USERS, UNIQUE_METADATA_VALUES. Required for THRESHOLD alerts only.
thresholdSettingsobject
When the alert fires. Latency is compared in seconds, cost in USD, and rates such as ERROR_RATE as fractions between 0 and 1.
Show 2 propertiesHide 2 properties
- valuenumberRequired
  The number the measured value is compared against.
- directionenumRequired
  Whether the alert fires when the measured value rises above the threshold or falls below it.
  Show 2 enum valuesHide 2 enum values
  - above
  - below
detectionSettingsobject | object | object
Which detections notify, for REGRESSION, ANOMALY and SIGNAL_SPIKE alerts. Regressions and anomalies take an optional traceName (omit for every trace), optional metrics (omit for all of avg_score, error_rate, avg_latency, avg_cost, negative_label_rate), direction (WORSENED or ANY) and minAffectedCount, the fewest affected traces a detection needs; regressions also take significantOnly. Signal spikes take classifierIds, direction and minAffectedCount, counted in threads when dataModel is THREAD.
