Delete fired-alerts via endpoint?

[rroberts]

I can list fired-alerts via endpoint https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/alerts/fired_alerts/-
There is a way to delete fired-alerts via API?

[mzorzi]

via REST point as described on the Documentation page:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.2.4/RESTAPI/RESTsearch#alerts.2Ffired_alerts

Found snippet example using Python internal SDK:

Fired_alert.py

Provides object mapping for fired alerts objects

Example use case:

sessionKey = splunk.auth.getSessionKey('admin','changeme')

s = SavedSearch.get('/servicesNS/admin/search/admin/savedsearch/someAlert')
alerts = s.get_alerts()

# print them all
for a in alerts:

print a.severity, str(a.trigger_time), str(action)

#now delete the most recent one

alerts[0].delete()
