HTTP request
GET /security/alerts
GET /security/alerts?$top=1
GET /security/alerts?$filter={property} eq '{property-value}'
GET /security/alerts?$filter={property} eq '{property-value}'&$top=5
GET /security/alerts?$filter={property} eq '{property-value}'&{property} eq '{property-value}'
Optional query parameters
This method supports the following OData query parameters to help customize the response:
$count
$orderby
$select
$skip
$top
- Returns the aggregated top results from each security API provider.$filter
The following table lists the $filter
keywords by each vendor name. Even though some of these products have been rebranded, the API is yet to be updated. Filter keywords will continue to use the legacy names until further notice. See the changelog for updates.
Vendor name | $filter keyword |
---|---|
Microsoft Defender for Identity | Azure Advanced Threat Protection |
Azure Security Center | ASC |
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps | MCAS |
Microsoft Entra ID Protection | IPC |
Microsoft Sentinel | Azure Sentinel |
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Microsoft Defender ATP |
Office 365 | Not currently supported. |
To return an alternative property set, use the OData $select
query parameter to specify the set of alert properties that you want. For example, to return the assignedTo, category, and severity properties, add the following to your query: $select=assignedTo,category,severity
.
Note: The
$top
OData query parameter has a limit of 1000 alerts. We recommend that you include only$top
and not$skip
in your first GET query. You can use@odata.nextLink
for pagination. If you need to use$skip
, it has a limit of 500 alerts. For example,/security/alerts?$top=10&$skip=500
will return a200 OK
response code, but/security/alerts?$top=10&$skip=501
will return a400 Bad Request
response code. For more information, see Microsoft Graph Security API error responses.
