Dell Unity™ Family Unisphere® Management REST API Programmer's Guide

An instance resource occurs in response to a GET instance request that results in a 200 OK HTTP status code. By default, this response body contains all available information about the requested resource instance. (The same information appears in the "entries" array of the collection resource.) You can limit the amount of data returned by using the ?fields, and ?compact query parameters.

The following example illustrates the components of an instance resource. It shows an instance resource returned in response to a GET instance request for the alert resource type with an id of alert_1. Spaces outside the quoted strings are used for readability, and are not significant.
