Acknowledges an error group.

- **Path** `POST https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/error_groups/error-group:acknowledge`
- **Scope** `observability:write`
- **Effect** `write` — a successful call changes state.
- **Collection** [error_groups](/docs/api/error_groups)

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | The name of the error group. Required. |
| `etag` | `string` | Act only if the current etag matches. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/error_groups/{error_group}`. |
| `uid` | `string` | `erg_<cell><ulid>`; never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `fingerprint` | `string` | The grouping fingerprint. Output only. |
| `title` | `string` | The exception type and message of the first occurrence. Output only. |
| `culprit` | `string` | The top in-app frame. Output only. |
| `service_name` | `string` | The emitting service. Output only. |
| `state` | `ErrorGroupState` | The triage state. Output only. One of `unresolved`, `acknowledged`, `resolved`. |
| `first_seen_time` | `timestamp` | The first occurrence. Output only. |
| `last_seen_time` | `timestamp` | The latest occurrence. Output only. |
| `occurrence_count` | `int64` | Occurrences, all time. Output only. |
| `last_release` | `string` | The release of the latest occurrence. Release is an attribute of each occurrence, never part of the group key: one bug stays one group across releases. Output only. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `generation` | `int64` | Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only. |
| `etag` | `string` | Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |

## Errors

- [`UNAUTHENTICATED`](/docs/api/errors/UNAUTHENTICATED) — No valid key or token was presented.
- [`PERMISSION_DENIED`](/docs/api/errors/PERMISSION_DENIED) — The key lacks the method's permission.
- [`RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`](/docs/api/errors/RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND) — The named Resource does not exist or is not visible.
- [`INVALID_FIELD`](/docs/api/errors/INVALID_FIELD) — A field failed validation.
- [`INVALID_STATE`](/docs/api/errors/INVALID_STATE) — The Resource is in a state that forbids the call.
- [`IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`](/docs/api/errors/IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED) — An Idempotency-Key was reused with another body.
- [`IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS`](/docs/api/errors/IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS) — The first call with this Idempotency-Key is still running.
- [`ETAG_MISMATCH`](/docs/api/errors/ETAG_MISMATCH) — The etag sent does not match the Resource's current etag.

Every error arrives in the body [Errors](/docs/platform/errors) describes.
