setPrcLabels

A Graze API POST request that sets the probable root cause (PRC) labels for specified alerts within a Situation. You must specify at least one PRC level and an alert ID for that level.

You can mark alerts as causal, non-causal or unlabeled within a Situation. An alert can have different PRC levels within different Situations.
