External Commands - Update Host Description

[brdr]

Hi,

We use XI 5.2.2.

We have a small project going on here at our site. We use Remedy for managing the inventory of servers across all domains. We have 2000+ hosts that there host description is going to change in Remedy. Remedy is source of record. Once the change happens in Remedy the description in Nagios will now need to match the host description in Remedy. If we can get a export of the host and host description from Remedy, could we then match on the host in Nagios (pulling from objects.cache) and alter the description by using external commands back into nagios with new description?

The best way to update this would be to use the REST API that's been around since XI 5 was launched. You can go to the Help menu for an overview of the available commands you can run to both set and get information.
