Authentication

The API accepts 2 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

These APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example: Authorization: ApiKey base64AccessApiKey

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

alerting

Alerting enables you to define rules, which detect complex conditions within your data. When a condition is met, the rule tracks it as an alert and runs the actions that are defined in the rule. Actions typically involve the use of connectors to interact with Kibana services or third party integrations.

Alerting documentation

Get the rule types

GET /api/alerting/rule_types
Api key auth Basic auth

If you have read privileges for one or more Kibana features, the API response contains information about the appropriate rule types. For example, there are rule types associated with the Management > Stack Rules feature, Analytics > Discover and Machine Learning features, Observability features, and Security features. To get rule types associated with the Stack Monitoring feature, use the monitoring_user built-in role.

      Values are onActionGroupChange, onActiveAlert, or onThrottleInterval.
