# List action policy executions

Availability: Experimental since 9.5

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `GET` `/api/alerting/v2/execution_history/action_policies`
- `GET` `/s/{space_id}/api/alerting/v2/execution_history/action_policies`

## Description

Refer to [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/manage-spaces) for more information.

Get a paginated list of dispatcher summary events for action policies in the current space.

## Required authorization

- Privileges: `read_alerting-v2-execution-history`

## Authentication

- Api key: `Authorization: <value>`
  These APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example: `Authorization: ApiKey base64AccessApiKey`
- Basic: `Authorization: Basic <credentials>`

## Query string parameters

- `page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 10000 · default: 1) — required
  Page number (1-indexed). Defaults to 1.
- `per_page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 100 · default: 20) — required
  Number of events per page. Defaults to 20.
- `from` (string · format: date-time) — optional
  Inclusive ISO datetime lower bound on the event timestamp; overrides the default 24-hour window. Independent of alert_ids — e.g. set it to an alert’s start time to scope results to that alert’s lifetime.
- `to` (string · format: date-time) — optional
  Inclusive ISO datetime upper bound on the event timestamp.
- `alert_ids` (string[] · min items: 1 · max items: 50) — optional
  Alert filter. Narrows events to those referencing at least one of the provided alert IDs.
- `sort_field` (enum · default: dispatched_at) — required
  Sort field. Defaults to "dispatched_at".
  Values: `dispatched_at`
- `sort_order` (enum · default: desc) — required
  Sort direction. Defaults to "desc".
  Values: `asc`, `desc`
- `search` (string · min length: 1 · max length: 256) — optional
  Free-text search. Matches policy name, rule name, policy/rule ID (case-insensitive).
- `rule_ids` (string[] · min items: 1 · max items: 50) — optional
  Explicit rule filter. Narrows events to those referencing at least one of the provided rule IDs. Also unions with the search filter if both are provided.
- `outcomes` (enum[] · min items: 1 · max items: 3) — optional
  Outcome filter. When omitted matches all outcomes. Pass one or more of "success", "throttled", "failure" to narrow.
  Values: `success`, `throttled`, `failure`

## Responses

#### `200`

Returns a paginated list of execution history events.

`application/json`

- `items` (object[])
  - `action_group_count` (number)
  - `alert_count` (number)
  - `alerts` (object[] · max items: 50)
    Alert IDs referenced by this event, bounded to 50. Empty when the event references no alerts. Use `alert_count` for the true total.
    - `id` (string)
  - `dispatched_at` (string · format: date-time)
  - `error` (object)
    Failure details. Omitted when the dispatch did not fail.
    - `message` (string)
    - `stack_trace` (string)
      Omitted when the source recorded no trace.
  - `failure_reason` (enum)
    Values: `missing_api_key`, `workflow_not_found`, `workflow_disabled`, `schedule_error`, `license_not_supported`
  - `outcome` (enum)
    Values: `success`, `throttled`, `failure`
  - `policy` (object)
    - `id` (string)
    - `name` (string)
      Omitted when the referenced resource could not be resolved.
  - `rule_count` (number)
    Number of rules referenced by this event after search or rule-filter narrowing. Unlike `total` on a list response, this is an exact count and it can exceed `rules.length` when the embedded array is truncated to the cap.
  - `rules` (object[] · max items: 20)
    Rules referenced by this event, bounded to 20. When a search or rule filter narrows the match, this array is intersected with the matched subset server-side. Use `rule_count` for the full count.
    - `id` (string)
    - `name` (string)
      Omitted when the referenced resource could not be resolved.
  - `workflows` (object[] · max items: 100)
    - `id` (string)
    - `name` (string)
      Omitted when the referenced resource could not be resolved.
- `page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 9007199254740991)
- `per_page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 9007199254740991)
- `search_matches` (object)
  Per-type match counts for the active search. Omitted when no search was provided. When is_truncated is true the server ID filter was capped and the result may be truncated.
  - `is_truncated` (boolean)
    True when the server filter cap was reached and results may be truncated.
  - `policies` (number)
    Policies matching the search. This count is an estimate: results above 10,000 may be reported as 10,000.
  - `rules` (number)
    Rules matching the search. This count is an estimate: results above 10,000 may be reported as 10,000.
- `total` (integer · min: 0 · max: 9007199254740991)
  The number of action policy events matching the query. This count is an estimate: results above 10,000 may be reported as 10,000.
