Document default "reject" plugin settings about alerta-docs HOT 6 CLOSED

The environment label must match an allowed environment. By default this is either Production or Development. You also must define a service but it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's not null.

Absolute gamechanger for me, thank you! For other people viewing this - remember the labels are case sensitive - eg. you can't write "production", it has to be "Production" (at least in my case)

I agree that returning a 403 Forbidden status code from the Reject plugin is confusing. This should be a 400 Bad Request indicating to the client that authentication was successful but the request was malformed for some reason.

I have the exact same problem but I always had environment label, what am I missing?
