Incorrect Component status using REST API for Incident

[Sandeep_A]

While trying to create incident through REST API using URL https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/{page_id}/incidents with body as below. The component status is shown as "Operational" instead of Degraded Performance.  Not sure why!? I tried setting different values, none of them work.

{
"incident": {
"name": "Sample incident",
"status": "investigating",
"body": "Sample message",
"components": {
"component_id": "degraded_performance"
},
"component_ids": "b2t1x2dz246g"
}
}

Hey Sandeep! 

This is because the "component_id" field within "components" will need to be replaced with the components id. The below sample should get you the result you're looking for - 

{
 "incident": {
   "name": "Sample Incident",
   "status":"investigating",
   "body": "Sample Message",
   "components": {
      "b2t1x2dz246g": "degraded_performance"
   },
   "component_ids": [
      "b2t1x2dz246g"
   ]
  }
}

True, got this sorted out after raising a support request with atlassian team. Unfortunately, documentation sample payload doesn't reflect this. https://developer.statuspage.io/#operation/postPagesPageIdIncidents
