Parameters

Parameter	Description
Action Parameters	A comma-separated list of the parameters for the prospective action. As you work on an alert, you’ll often need to update the status, assign it to a user, or add comments with additional info. In most cases, you must provide both the action name, such as update_status, and a value, such as in_progress, in the body of the request. Some actions accept empty values. You can perform these actions on alerts: - `add_tag`: Add a tag (keyword) to the specified alerts. - `append_comment`: Appends a new comment to any existing comments for the specified alerts. - `assign_to_name`: Assign the specified alerts to a user based on their username. - `assign_to_user_id`: Assign the specified alerts to a user based on their email address. - `assign_to_uuid`: Assign the specified alerts to a user based on their UUID. - `remove_tag`: Remove a tag from the specified alerts. - `remove_tags_by_prefix`: Remove all tags containing a given prefix from the specified alerts. - `show_in_ui`: If the value specified is true, display the specified alerts in the Falcon console. Any other value, including an empty value, prevents the specified alerts from appearing in the Falcon console. - `unassign`: If there are any users currently assigned to the specified alerts, unassign them. This action doesn’t require a value; if one is specified, the value is ignored. - `update_status`: Update the status for the specified alerts. Valid statuses are: - closed - in_progress - new - reopened
Alert IDs	Comma separated list of alert IDs to get details on. This endpoint does not support detection IDs prefixed with ldt.
