HTTP request

GET /reports/healthMonitoring/alerts/{alertId}

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $select and $expand OData query parameters to help customize the response.

When no $expand query parameter is added, this API doesn't return resourceSampling property by default. When you want to retrieve a sample of the resources involved in triggering the alert for root cause investigation, you can add $expand=enrichment/impacts/microsoft.graph.healthmonitoring.directoryobjectimpactsummary/resourceSampling to view resourceSampling in directoryObjectImpactSummary.
