Monitor REST API: Alerts

An Alert resource instance represents a single log entry for an error or warning encountered when Twilio makes a webhook request to your server, or when your application makes a request to the REST API.

These can be very useful for debugging purposes, and you can configure new email or webhook notifications using Alarms.

Alert Properties

(warning)

Warning

The maximum number of Alert resources you can fetch per request to this API is 10,000.

(warning)

Warning

Unlike other parts of the REST API, the representation of an Alert instance is different from the Alert representations within responses from the list resource. Due to the potentially very large amount of data in an alert, the full HTTP request and response data is only returned in the Alert instance resource representation.

Property nameTypePIIDescription

account_sidSID<AC>

The SID of the Account that created the Alert resource.

Pattern: ^AC[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34

alert_textstring

The text of the alert.

api_versionstring

The API version used when the alert was generated. Can be empty for events that don't have a specific API version.

date_createdstring<date-time>

The date and time in GMT when the resource was created specified in ISO 8601 format.

date_generatedstring<date-time>

The date and time in GMT when the alert was generated specified in ISO 8601 format. Due to buffering, this can be different than date_created.

date_updatedstring<date-time>

The date and time in GMT when the resource was last updated specified in ISO 8601 format.

error_codestring

The error code for the condition that generated the alert. See the Error Dictionary for possible causes and solutions to the error.

request_urlstring

resource_sidSID

The SID of the resource for which the alert was generated. For instance, if your server failed to respond to an HTTP request during the flow of a particular call, this value would be the SID of the server. This value is empty if the alert was not generated for a particular resource.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34
