}Query structured data
Run a synchronous ad-hoc query against a configured data source and return a stable query_result.v1 result whose natural shape is frames, records, or samples. This public API requires monit-edge v0.65.0 or later.

}Authorizations
App key issued from the Flashduty console under Account → APP Keys. Required on every public API call. Keep it secret — it grants the same access as the owning account.
Body
Request for the stable structured query endpoint. It accepts the same query fields as the retired rows endpoint.
Data source type; must match a configured data source under the tenant. Examples: prometheus, loki, victorialogs, sls, elasticsearch, mysql, postgres, oracle, clickhouse.
Data source name; must match a configured data source under the tenant.
Query expression. Syntax depends on ds_type and is interpreted by the corresponding monit-edge client (PromQL for Prometheus, LogQL for Loki, SQL for SQL sources, etc.).
Optional consistency check. Must equal the authenticated account when supplied; mismatched values are rejected. Business execution always uses the authenticated account.
Look-back offset in seconds applied to point-in-time queries (Prometheus, Loki stats, VictoriaLogs stats). Ignored for raw / detail queries.
Polymorphic key/value extension parameters forwarded verbatim to monit-edge. All values must be strings, and keys are always namespaced by source (e.g. sls.project, loki.type). Validation depends on ds_type: SLS requires sls.project + sls.logstore. Elasticsearch accepts es.type of sql, or omitted — any other value is rejected. Loki and VictoriaLogs accept <source>.type of stats, raw, or omitted; raw additionally requires a time range, either <source>.start + <source>.end or <source>.timespan.value + <source>.timespan.unit (unit one of s, m, h, d). Prometheus and the remaining SQL sources ignore args entirely.

Response
Success
Success response envelope. On every 2xx response, request_id identifies the call (also mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id header) and data holds the endpoint-specific payload. Failure responses use a different shape — see ErrorResponse.
