Is there some way (bulk is better) to update the email field in the alert action trigger through the search/rest?

Hi @rafamss .. it should be possible

1. the alerts are stored as regular (xml i think) files. find out the list of all alerts

2. the alert got field for email list, find out that field. 

3. thru vi editor / sed / awk, you can do search and replace all the required email ids. 

 

Check this first in dev/test before trying it on prod. The real challenge is that how to verify only the required email id's are replaced.. you should be able to figure it out during the step 3 actually. 

hope this gave some ideas to you, thanks. 

thanks and best regards,
Sekar
