Settings API - Problem alerting profiles schema table

Problem alerting profiles (builtin:alerting.profile)

Alerting profiles enable you to set up fine-grained alert-filtering rules that are based on the severity, customer impact, associated tags, and/or duration of detected problems. Alerting profiles enable you to control exactly which conditions result in problem notifications and which don't. This includes all problem-push notifications that are sent via the Dynatrace mobile app and displayed in the Dynatrace web UI. Alerting profiles can also be used to set up filtered problem-notification integrations with 3rd party messaging systems like Slack, VictorOps, and PagerDuty.

Parameters

PropertyTypeDescriptionRequired
Name
name		text-required
Management zone
managementZone		setting

Entities which are part of the configured management zones will match this alerting profile. It is recommended to use manual tags instead.

Note: Management zones may experience delays or inconsistencies due to rule complexity and attribute variability. Entities may not be immediately assigned to management zones, impacting filter effectiveness.

It is recommended to use manual tags instead.

For more information, visit our best practices for management zones documentation page.
