# /admin/show/alerts

```
URL: http://<db.host>:<hm.port>/admin/show/alerts
```

Requests a list of the most recent alerts. Returns lists of alert data,
including timestamp and type.

**NOTE:** This endpoint is serviced by the host manager, not the database cluster itself, so the port specified needs to be the host manager port instead. The default host manager port can be found under [Default Ports](../../install/shared/ports). For more information on the host manager, see [Host Manager](../../admin/host_manager/).

## Input Parameter Description

<ParamField body="num_alerts" type="int">
  Number of most recent alerts to request. The response will include up to input parameter *num\_alerts* depending on how many alerts there are in the system. A value of 0 returns all stored alerts.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="options" type="map of string to strings">
  Optional parameters.

  The default value is an empty map ( \{} ).
</ParamField>
