# Update Metric Recording Rule

`PUT /metric-recording-rule/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://oneuptime.com/api`
- URL: `https://oneuptime.com/api/metric-recording-rule/{id}`
- Auth: API key in header `APIKey`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/oneuptime/apis/oneuptime-openapi-specification/docs/metric-recording-rule/:id/put.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Endpoint to update an existing Metric Recording Rule

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- object
  - `data` MetricRecordingRuleUpdateSchema, required: Update schema for MetricRecordingRule model. Update
    - `name` string: Friendly name for this rule. Permissions - Create: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Create Metric Recording Rule], Read: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Project Member, Viewer, Telemetry Admin, Telemetry Member, Telemetry Viewer, Read Metric Recording Rule], Update: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Edit Metric Recording Rule]
    - `description` string: What this recording rule computes and why. Permissions - Create: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Create Metric Recording Rule], Read: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Project Member, Viewer, Telemetry Admin, Telemetry Member, Telemetry Viewer, Read Metric Recording Rule], Update: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Edit Metric Recording Rule]
    - `outputMetricName` string: Name of the new metric this rule writes (e.g. http.error_rate). Leave it out and it is made from the rule's name - HTTP error rate becomes http_error_rate, with _2, _3 and so on added when another recording rule of the project already writes it. Keep it unique per project. Permissions - Create: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Create Metric Recording Rule], Read: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Project Member, Viewer, Telemetry Admin, Telemetry Member, Telemetry Viewer, Read Metric Recording Rule], Update: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Edit Metric Recording Rule]
    - `definition` object: Sources (aliased input metrics), arithmetic expression, and optional group-by attribute. Permissions - Create: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Create Metric Recording Rule], Read: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Project Member, Viewer, Telemetry Admin, Telemetry Member, Telemetry Viewer, Read Metric Recording Rule], Update: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Edit Metric Recording Rule]
    - `isEnabled` boolean: Whether this rule is evaluated by the recording rule cron. Permissions - Create: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Create Metric Recording Rule], Read: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Project Member, Viewer, Telemetry Admin, Telemetry Member, Telemetry Viewer, Read Metric Recording Rule], Update: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Edit Metric Recording Rule]
    - `sortOrder` number: Not read when rules are evaluated: every enabled rule is evaluated each minute, on its own, whatever this holds. The dashboard lists rules by name. Permissions - Create: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Create Metric Recording Rule], Read: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Project Member, Viewer, Telemetry Admin, Telemetry Member, Telemetry Viewer, Read Metric Recording Rule], Update: [Project Owner, Project Admin, Edit Metric Recording Rule]
