# Delete alert

`DELETE /api/v2/{org_id}/alerts/{alert_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.openobserve.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.openobserve.ai/api/v2/{org_id}/alerts/{alert_id}`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/openobserve/apis/openobserve-api-http/docs/api/v2/:org_id/alerts/:alert_id/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Permanently removes an alert and all its configurations including conditions, triggers, and notification settings. This action cannot be undone and will stop all monitoring and notifications for the deleted alert. Also deletes composite alerts; returns 409 when the alert is referenced by one or more composite alerts.

## Path parameters

- `org_id` string, required
- `alert_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `folder` string

## Response `200`

Success

- HttpResponse: HTTP response code 200 is success code 400 is error code 404 is not found code 500 is internal server error code 503 is service unavailable code >= 1000 is custom error code message is the message or error message
  - `code` integer, required
  - `error_detail` string, nullable
  - `hint` string, nullable: One-line guidance on how to fix the error (agent self-correction, D4).
  - `id` string, nullable
  - `message` string, required
  - `name` string, nullable
  - `suggestions` string[], nullable: Closest valid alternatives for a mistyped field/function name.
  - `trace_id` string, nullable
  - `warnings` string[], nullable: Problems with a request that succeeded anyway. Distinct from `hint`, which explains a failure: these accompany a 200, and the caller is entitled to have meant it.

## Other responses

- `409`: Referenced by composite alerts
- `500`: Failure
