We can use curl to do this.

This is for the host object:

Command:

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_typ=55&cmd_mod=2&host=centos03&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&start_time=03-13-2015 11:30:00&end_time=03-13-2015 11:40:00&fixed=1&childoptions=0&btnSubmit=Commit" "http://xitest/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "troylea:password"

This is for the host's services:

Command:

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_typ=86&cmd_mod=2&host=centos03&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&start_time=03-13-2015 11:30:00&end_time=03-13-2015 11:40:00&fixed=1&childoptions=0&btnSubmit=Commit" "http://xitest/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "troylea:password"

The output you receive for the commands is a http page, but most importantly you are after this message:

Output:

Code: Select all

<P><DIV CLASS='infoMessage'>Your command request was successfully submitted to Nagios for processing.<BR><BR>
Note: It may take a while before the command is actually processed.<BR><BR>

I have some other examples here:

Thank but i have got problems with permisions and i use this script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
 
#
# Write a command to the Nagios command file to cause
# it to schedule service downtime.
#
# Author: Sam Tilders sam@jovianprojects.com.au
#
# Based on the example event handler scripts and cmd.c/.cgi
#
# Requires:
#  GNU Date (for date formatting options)
#  Bash > 2.x (for inline variable regex substitution on the comment_data)
 
# Notes:
# 1) In order for Nagios to process any commands that
#    are written to the command file, you must enable
#    the check_external_commands option in the main
#    configuration file.
 
# Caveats:
#  Using "date" to validate the command line date format doesn't always pick
# up all mistakes in the date format. Sometimes "date" seems to invent something
# that might have been what you intented.
#  Makes no attempt to verify the hostname or service desc before passing them to
# the command pipe. Nagios seems to ignore the command if it doesn't match.
# Write a command to the Nagios command file to cause
# it to schedule host downtime
 
# Example:
# A cron entry to schedule downtime for the nntp service every day at 0400 while
# other cron jobs (locate database update) slow the machine down.
# 30 0 * * * schedule_svc_downtime news NNTP "`date --iso-8601` 04:00:00" "`date --iso-8601` 05:00:00" 1 3600 auto "while cron does things"
# There are utilities such as "shellsupport" that will do date manipulation allowing shell scripts
# to wrap around this command to schedule for days in advance instead of same date.

        echo "   fixed is either 1 or 0 and indicates that the time period is fixed and duration should be ignored"
