## Alert response shape

The attributes in the alert response vary based on the `alert_type`.

[code-tabs]
```json
[label Threshold response]
{
  "attributes": {
    "alert_type": "threshold",
    "operator": "higher_than",
    "value": 100,
    "string_value": null,
    "check_period": 300
  }
}
```
```json
[label Relative response]
{
  "attributes": {
    "alert_type": "relative",
    "operator": "increases_by",
    "value": 50,
    "check_period": 300
  }
}
```
```json
[label Anomaly response]
{
  "attributes": {
    "alert_type": "anomaly_rrcf",
    "anomaly_sensitivity": 75.0,
    "anomaly_trigger": "any"
  }
}
```
[/code-tabs]

[info]
For `threshold` and `relative` alerts, the fields `anomaly_sensitivity` and `anomaly_trigger` are omitted. For `anomaly_rrcf` alerts, the fields `operator`, `value`, `string_value`, and `check_period` are omitted.
