1. Generate Header & URL
Install PostMan for Chrome (looks like a man with a jetpack)
Under the auth tab, set it to basic
Put in the admin username and password
Click update request

2. Add Extra Header Go to the header tab Add content-type application/xml
Put in your URL (update the IP)
Set it to “get”
Click “Send”

3. Verify it worked HTTP 200 is success
Now change the URL to filter by owner

4. Look for alerts by the deleted owner UUID
Update this URL to use the UUID you see in the vRealize Opeartions Manager website.
Make sure comes back with HTTP 200 OK

5. Sample Alert – copy the alertID

6. Create an XML body
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <ops:uuid-values xmlns:xs=" xmlns:xsi=" xmlns:ops=" <ops:uuids>31eeaeec-82d a59b-efed2e7c8e3a</ops:uuids> </ops:uuid-values>
Replace 31eeaeec-82d a59b-efed2e7c8e3a with the UUID from the alert taken in the previous step

7. Update the URL – DO NOT CLICK SEND YET
Post mode
This URL (update the IP)
Both content-type and authorization should be there
Go to the body tab

8. Paste in the XML you updated
Body = raw
Paste in the XML with the updated UUID of the alert
Click Send
The expected responses are:
200 OK = it should be released
500 Internal Server Error = Alert is not owned by any user (or some other message)
