alerts
object
cpu
integer
The percentage of CPU usage required to trigger an alert.
If the average CPU usage over two hours exceeds this value, we’ll send you an alert.
Your Linode’s total CPU capacity is represented as 100%, multiplied by its number of
cores.
For example, a two core Linode’s CPU capacity is represented as 200%. If you want
to be alerted at 90% of a two core Linode’s CPU capacity, set the alert value to 180.
The default value is 90% multiplied by the number of cores.
If the value is set to 0 (zero), the alert is disabled.
io
integer
The amount of disk IO operation per second required to trigger an alert. If the average disk IO over two hours exceeds this value, we’ll send you an alert. If set to 0 (zero), this alert is disabled.
network_in
integer
The amount of incoming traffic, in Mbit/s, required to trigger an alert. If the average incoming traffic over two hours exceeds this value, we’ll send you an alert. If this is set to 0 (zero), the alert is disabled.
network_out
integer
The amount of outbound traffic, in Mbit/s, required to trigger an alert. If the average outbound traffic over two hours exceeds this value, we’ll send you an alert. If this is set to 0 (zero), the alert is disabled.
transfer_quota
integer
The percentage of network transfer that may be used before an alert is triggered. When this value is exceeded, we’ll alert you. If this is set to 0 (zero), the alert is disabled.
The day of the week that your Linode’s weekly Backup is taken.
If not set manually, a day will be chosen for you. Backups
are taken every day, but backups taken on this day are
preferred when selecting backups to retain for a longer period.
If not set manually, then when backups are initially enabled, this
may come back as Scheduling until the day is automatically selected.
window
Nullable
string
Enum:
SchedulingW0W2W4W6W8W10W12W14W16W18W20W22
The window in which your backups will be taken, in UTC. A
backups window is a two-hour span of time in which the backup
may occur.
For example, W10 indicates that your backups should be
taken between 10:00 and 12:00. If you do not choose a backup
window, one will be selected for you automatically.
If not set manually, when backups are initially enabled this
may come back as Scheduling until the window is automatically selected.

Grant Update (
PUT /account/users/{username}/grants) endpoint to
adjust permissions for an Account Image.
ipv4
Filterable
array

upon creation, and may get a single private IPv4 address if needed. You may need to
open a support ticket
to get additional IPv4 addresses.
IPv4 addresses may be reassigned between your Linodes, or shared with other Linodes.
See the
/networking endpoints for details.
ipv6
Nullable
string<ipv6/128>

May only consist of alphanumeric characters, dashes (-), underscores (_) or periods (.).
Cannot have two dashes (--), underscores (__) or periods (..) in a row.

POST /linode/instances. While this configuration is suitable for 99% of use cases, if you need finer control over your Linode’s disks, see the
/linode/instances/{linodeId}/disks endpoints.
memory
integer
The amount of RAM, in MB, this Linode has access to. Typically a Linode will choose to boot with all of its available RAM, but this can be configured in a Config profile, see the
/linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs endpoints and the LinodeConfig object for more information.
transfer
integer
The amount of network transfer this Linode is allotted each month.
vcpus
integer
The number of vcpus this Linode has access to. Typically a Linode will choose to boot with all of its available vcpus, but this can be configured in a Config Profile, see the
/linode/instances/{linodeId}/configs endpoints and the LinodeConfig object for more information.

The watchdog, named Lassie, is a Shutdown Watchdog that monitors your Linode and will reboot it if it powers off unexpectedly. It works by issuing a boot job when your Linode powers off without a shutdown job being responsible.
To prevent a loop, Lassie will give up if there have been more than 5 boot jobs issued within 15 minutes.
