API: How to Post a HostTemplate or a ServiceTemplate

[MrWoodward]

The REST API - Config Reference that's built into Nagios XI doesn't have any documentation on how to POST a Host or Service Template.

I tried using the 'POST config/host' endpoint, but it didn't seem to like that my Host Template didn't have a 'host_name' and failed.

Is there a 'POST config/host_template' (and service_template) endpoint for the NagiosXI REST API?

We're on NagiosXI 5.4.11, btw.

Template creation is currently not available but we will be looking to add these endpoints in future versions

Ok, thanks for the fast reply. We'll work around this.

@scottwilkerson, is there a FR already in place for this or better yet a timeline?

There is a FR in place for this, however I do not have a timeline on when it will get created.

Understood. Thankfully, the DB schema isn't all that complicated on the NagioSQL side of things so this should be a pretty simple thing to work around in the meantime.
