Remove the snooze from an action policy.

[Required authorization] Route required privileges: manage_alerting-v2-action-policies.

Path Parameters

id string · min: 1 · max: 150 · pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$ required: The ID of the action policy. Copy it from the response when you create a policy, fetch one policy, or fetch the policy list. Chosen at creation and permanent — it cannot be changed afterwards. Re-using the id of a deleted resource is allowed but discouraged: execution history, change history, and alert episodes recorded under that id are retained and are attributed to the new resource. Ids appear in URLs and logs, so keep them free of sensitive data.

Responses

Returns the unsnoozed action policy.
