Stability Level Long-Term

The addActionLabels() GraphQL mutation is used to add labels to an action. There can be at most ten labels with a maximum length of sixty characters per label. Returns the updated action if successful — or null with errors if not.

Syntax

graphql
addActionLabels(
      input: AddActionLabels!
   ): Action

Example

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  addActionLabels(
    input: { 
      viewName: "humio",
      id: "abc123",
      labels: [ "act-one",
                "morning-shift" ]
    }
  )
  { displayName, isAllowedToRun }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  addActionLabels(
    input: { 
      viewName: \"humio\",
      id: \"abc123\",
      labels: [ \"act-one\",
                \"morning-shift\" ]
    }
  )
  { displayName, isAllowedToRun }
}"
}

Given Datatype

You'll have to give the view name and the unique identifier of the action to which you want to add labels — and a list of labels to add. This is described here in the table for this datatype:

Table: AddActionLabels

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultStabilityDescription
Some arguments may be required, as indicated in the Required column. For return datatypes, this indicates that you must specify which fields you want returned in the results.
