+# Alerting API
+
+You can use the Alerting API to get information about alerts and their states but this API cannot be used to modify the alert. 
+To create new alerts or modify them you need to update the dashboard json that contains the alerts. 
+
+This API can also be used to create, update and delete alert notifications.
+
