  • base_capacity - Long - The base capacity of the building block rule in events per second.
  • base_host_id - Long - The ID of the host from which the building block rule's base capacity was determined
  • average_capacity - Long - The moving average capacity, in EPS, of the building block rule across all hosts.
  • capacity_timestamp - Long - The epoch timestamp, in milliseconds, since the building block's capacity values were last updated.
  • identifier - String - The unique ID of the rule. This value is typically in the form of a UUID, with the exception of legacy system rules.
  • linked_rule_identifier - String - The linked ID of the rule. This value is typically in the form of a UUID, with the exception of legacy system rules, and varies depending on the rule's origin as follows:
