Caution

As of 2026-03-24, the Grafana OnCall OSS project is archived. The grafana/oncall repository is read-only, and active development continues in Grafana Cloud IRM. For a fully supported and actively maintained alternative, Grafana Cloud IRM offers a modern approach to incident response and on-call management.

Important: This documentation is about an older version. It's relevant only to the release noted, many of the features and functions have been updated or replaced. Please view the current version.

Delete alert groups

shell 
curl "{{API_URL}}/api/v1/alert_groups/I68T24C13IFW1/" \
  --request DELETE \
  --header "Authorization: meowmeowmeow" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
      "mode": "wipe"
  }'
ParameterRequiredDescription
modeNoDefault setting is wipe. wipe will remove the payload of all Grafana OnCall group alerts. This is useful if you sent sensitive data to OnCall. All metadata will remain. DELETE will trigger the removal of alert groups, alerts, and all related metadata. It will also remove alert group notifications in Slack and other destinations.

NOTE: DELETE can take a few moments to delete alert groups because Grafana OnCall interacts with 3rd party APIs such as Slack. Please check objects using GET to be sure the data is removed.
