Response

Indicates a successful call.

categorystring nullable

The case category.

closed_atstring date-time nullable required
created_atstring date-time required
descriptionstring required
durationinteger nullable required

The elapsed time from the creation of the case to its closure (in seconds). If the case has not been closed, the duration is set to null. If the case was closed after less than half a second, the duration is rounded down to zero.

extended_fieldsobject

The case's stored field values, keyed by storage key (for example priority_as_keyword).

extended_fields_labelsCasesCaseExtendedFieldsLabels

A read-only, response-only map from active field definition storage keys to their human-readable labels. Entries reflect currently applicable global and template field definitions — not every stored extended_fields key is guaranteed a label, because values retained after switching templates may have no matching current definition. Only populated by the get case and search cases endpoints; absent on create, update, push, and comment responses. Including this field in a write request returns a 400 error.

idstring required
incremental_idinteger nullable

A monotonically increasing number assigned to each case, unique per space. This value is generated asynchronously after the case is created and may not be present immediately in the response.

owner'cases' | 'observability' | 'securitySolution' required

The application that owns the cases: Stack Management, Observability, or Elastic Security.

severity'critical' | 'high' | 'low' | 'medium' required

The severity of the case.

status'closed' | 'in-progress' | 'open' required

The status of the case.

tagsstring[] required
titlestring required
total_observablesinteger nullable required

The number of observables attached to the case.

totalAlertsinteger required
totalCommentinteger required
totalEventsinteger

The number of events attached to the case.

updated_atstring date-time nullable required
versionstring required
