Ambari not loading changes to alerts.json

[#1]

I am building am mpack for a service I would like to install in Ambari. The mpack installed properly but the alerts are not accurate. I tried to modify the alerts.json several times to fix the issue but Ambari keeps using the original version of the alerts.json. I restarted Ambari server several times but nothing worked.

How would I force Ambari to use the newly modified alerts.json

Best,

Theyaa.

The alerts.json files are only used to seed alert definitions initially. After an alert definition has been created in the system, modification of that alert must be done through the REST API.

See: https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-server/docs/api/v1/alert-definitions.md#create

You can delete the alert definition as well. This will cause the alerts.json to be read in again on Ambari Server restart.
