Overview

This node operation deletes a specific metric image associated with an alert in GitLab's Alert Management system. It is useful for managing and cleaning up alert-related metric images within a GitLab project, especially when certain metric images are no longer relevant or need to be removed for maintenance or organizational purposes. For example, a user can delete outdated or incorrect metric images linked to alerts in a project to keep the alert data accurate and up to date.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a metric image from an alert in a GitLab project to remove obsolete data.
  2. Removing a specific metric image associated with an alert to correct an error or update alert visuals.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID, alert IID, and metric image ID are correct and exist in the GitLab project.
  • Verify that the API key used has sufficient permissions to delete alert metric images.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance if using a self-hosted GitLab.
  • Common error messages include 404 Not Found if the resource does not exist, and 403 Forbidden if the API key lacks permissions.
