Prometheus Alertmanger delete All silences using curl. REST API

How can I delete all the existing silences in Prometheus Alertmanger using the curl.

I tried using this but getting 404 page not found

curl -X DELETE http://alerts.example.org:9093/api/v1/silence/<silenceId>

How can I delete all the silences? something like

curl -X DELETE http://alerts.example.org:9093/api/v1/silence/*

Solution

  • You can't delete all the silences with just a curl command but you can list all the silences ids with the following command:

    curl -X GET http://alerts.example.org:9093/api/v1/silences | jq --raw-output '.data[].id'

    And then delete using your "curl -X DELETE" command.
