the status. Requesting an acknowledgement or clearing an acknowledgement can be requested regardless of

the current status. The requested status will become the current status. Any other operations will be considered

an error.

The requested action can be applied to a list of alerts by adding additional alert ids separated by a pipe (|).

The response will be in the following format:

<Result>false</Result>

<Message>Alert with id 56465 does not exist</Message>

</RESTResponseMessage>

<Message>Alert with id 46541 does not exist</Message>

</RESTResponseMessage>

</Messages>

</RESTResponse>

If the requested action for all of the alerts in the list are successful, the return value will be true. No other

information will be in the response.

If the requested action for any of the alerts in the list fails, the return value will be false. Messages for only

actions that failed will be in the response. The ID of the alert and the error message will be reported.

Any alerts in the list for the requested action that are not in the response are succeessful.
