Delete Alert Rules
Last updated - 23 July, 2025
Overview
You can use LogicMonitor’s REST API to programmatically delete Alert Rules. As with all of our API calls, authentication is required.
HTTP Method: DELETE
Resource URI: /setting/alert/rules/{id}
(where id is the id of the alert rule you’d like to delete)
Example
The following Python script deletes the alert rule with id 74.
#!/bin/env python import requests import json import hashlib import base64 import time import hmac #Account Info AccessId ='48v2wRzfK94y53sq5EuF' AccessKey ='H_D9i(f5~B^U36^K6i42=^nS~e75gy382Bf6{)P+' Company = 'api' #Request Info httpVerb ='DELETE' resourcePath = '/setting/alert/rules/74' queryParams ='' data = '' #Construct URL url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath +queryParams #Get current time in milliseconds epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000)) #Concatenate Request details requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath # Construct signature hmac1 = hmac.new(AccessKey.encode(),msg=requestVars.encode(),digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest() signature = base64.b64encode(hmac1.encode()) # Construct headers auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature.decode() + ':' + epoch headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth} # Make request response = requests.delete(url, data=data, headers=headers) # Print status and body of response print('Response Status:',response.status_code) print('Response Body:',response.content)Python 3
