        —Source which detected the alert.
      • status
        —Represents the status of the incident.
    • operator
      String that identifies the comparison operator you want to use for this filter. Valid keywords and values are:
      in
      • incident_id_list
        ,
        alert_sources
        ,

        —Integer in timestamp epoch milliseconds
      eq
       /
      neq
      • status

      Value that this filter must match. The contents of this field will differ depending on the incident field that you specified for this filter:
      • description
         - List of strings.
      • incident_sources
         - list of strings.
      • modification_time
        ,
        creation_time
         - Integer representing the number of milliseconds after the Unix epoch, UTC timezone.
      • incident_id_list
        - List of strings. Each item in the list must be an incident ID.
      • starred
         - Boolean value:
        true
         or

        ,
        ,
        resolved_false_positive
        ,
        resolved_other,resolved_auto
    search_from
    Integer representing the starting offset within the query result set from which you want incidents returned.
    Incidents are returned as a zero-based list. Any incident indexed less than this value is not returned in the final result set and defaults to zero.
    search_to
    Integer representing the end offset within the result set after which you do not want incidents returned.
    Incidents in the incident list that are indexed higher than this value are not returned in the final results set. Defaults to 100, which returns all incidents to the end of the list.
    sort
    Identifies the sort order for the result set.
    • field
       - Can be either
      modification_time
       or
      creation_time
      .
    • keyword
       - Can be either
      asc
       (ascending order) or
      desc
       (descending order).
