Hi, jasonish:
I want to check the alert of a sensor and what the API looks like

Thanks

Do you mean something like:

curl -u username:password -v "http://127.0.0.1:5636/api/events?event_type=alert&query_string=host:sensor_name"

That should return that last 500 alerts for that specific sensor name.

There are some other parameters:

Parameter	Description	Example
event_type	Filter by event type	event_type=alert
query_string	Key:value filters	query_string=host:my-sensor
from	Start timestamp	from=2025-12-28T00:00:00Z
to	End timestamp	to=2025-12-29T00:00:00Z
size	Max results	size=100
order	Sort order	order=desc

Combined example:

curl "http://localhost:5636/api/events?event_type=alert&query_string=host:my-sensor&size=50&order=desc"

I should document these in the API docs.
