POST Alerts Pending TestAll

The POST /Alerts/Pending/TestAll method is used to test all pending certificate request alerts. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details about the resulting number of alerts generated.

Tip: Alerts are generated for all certificate requests that have not previously been alerted on, unless the system has been configured to send multiple alerts per request. By default, one alert is sent to each recipient for any given request. The number of alerts to send for a given request is configurable with the Pending Alert Max Reminders setting in Keyfactor Command application settings (see Application Settings: Console Tab). If a certificate remains in a pending state after the configured number of alerts has been sent, no further alerts will be sent.

By default, a maximum of 100 alerts will be generated during a test. The maximum value is configurable with the Pending Alert Test Result Limit setting in Keyfactor Command application settings (see Application Settings: Console Tab). If more than 100 alerts are generated, no email messages will be sent and you'll have the opportunity to view the first 100 alerts generated.

If you're using an event handler, the event handler is run and the handler actions taken (PowerShell script run, event log message) when the test is run. This is true regardless of the setting of the sendAlertsEmails flag.

Tip: The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:

/monitoring/alerts/read/

Description

PendingAlerts

An object containing alert details resulting from the test. Show pending alert details.

Name	Description
Subject	A string indicating the subject for the email message that will be delivered when the alert is triggered. Tip: Substitutable special text may be used in the subject line. Substitutable special text uses a variable in the alert definition that is replaced by data from the certificate request or certificate metadata at processing time. For example, you can enter {rcn} in the alert definition and each alert generated at processing time will contain the specific requested common name of the given certificate request instead of the variable {rcn}.
Message	A string indicating the email message that will be delivered when the alert is triggered. The email message is made up of regular text and substitutable special text. If desired, you can format the message body using HTML.
Recipients	An array of strings containing a list of strings with the recipients for the alert. Each alert can have multiple recipients. You can use specific email addresses and/or use substitutable special text to replace an email address variable with actual email addresses at processing time.
CARequestId	An string containing the CA's reference ID for the certificate request.
CommonName	A string indicating the common name of the certificate request.
LogicalName	A string indicating the logical name of the certificate authority from which the certificate was requested.

An integer indicating the number of pending alerts run by the test.

Tip: See the Keyfactor API Reference and Utility which provides a utility through which the Keyfactor API

An API is a set of functions to allow creation of applications. Keyfactor offers the Keyfactor API, which allows third-party software to integrate with the advanced certificate enrollment and management features of Keyfactor Command. endpoints can be called and results returned. It is intended to be used primarily for validation, testing and workflow

A workflow is a series of steps necessary to complete a process. In Keyfactor Command, it refers to the workflow builder, which allows you to automate event-driven tasks such as when a certificate is requested, revoked or found in a certificate store. development. It also serves secondarily as documentation for the API. The link to the Keyfactor API Reference and Utility is in the dropdown from the help icon (
