Output only. The time this alert was created.

startTime

string (Timestamp format)

Required. The time the event that caused this alert was started or detected.

endTime

string (Timestamp format)

Optional. The time the event that caused this alert ceased being active. If provided, the end time must not be earlier than the start time. If not provided, it indicates an ongoing alert.

type

string

Required. The type of the alert. This is output only after alert is created. For a list of available alert types see Google Workspace Alert types.

source

string

Required. A unique identifier for the system that reported the alert. This is output only after alert is created.

Supported sources are any of the following:

  • Google Operations
  • Mobile device management
  • Gmail phishing
  • Data Loss Prevention
  • Domain wide takeout

  • Google identity
  • Apps outage

metadata

object (AlertMetadata)

Output only. The metadata associated with this alert.

updateTime

string (Timestamp format)

Output only. The time this alert was last updated.

etag

string

Optional. etag is used for optimistic concurrency control as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of an alert from overwriting each other. It is strongly suggested that systems make use of the etag in the read-modify-write cycle to perform alert updates in order to avoid race conditions: An etag is returned in the response which contains alerts, and systems are expected to put that etag in the request to update alert to ensure that their change will be applied to the same version of the alert.

If no etag is provided in the call to update alert, then the existing alert is overwritten blindly.

AlertMetadata

etag

string

Optional. etag is used for optimistic concurrency control as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of an alert metadata from overwriting each other. It is strongly suggested that systems make use of the etag in the read-modify-write cycle to perform metadata updates in order to avoid race conditions: An etag is returned in the response which contains alert metadata, and systems are expected to put that etag in the request to update alert metadata to ensure that their change will be applied to the same version of the alert metadata.
