      • skipRecurrences array[string]

        Skips recurrence of rule on this date.

    • tags array[string] Required

      The tags for the rule.

    • throttle string | null Deprecated

      Deprecated in 8.13.0. Use the throttle property in the action frequency object instead. The throttle interval, which defines how often an alert generates repeated actions. NOTE: You cannot specify the throttle interval at both the rule and action level. If you set it at the rule level then update the rule in Kibana, it is automatically changed to use action-specific values.

    • updated_at string Required

      The date and time that the rule was updated most recently.

    • updated_by string | null Required

      The identifier for the user that updated this rule most recently.

    • view_in_app_relative_url string | null

      Relative URL to view rule in the app.
  • 400

    Indicates an invalid schema or parameters.

  • 403

    Indicates that this call is forbidden.

  • 409

    Indicates that the rule id is already in use.
