How to delete Scheduled downtime?

[gsrinivas]

Hi,

I could schedule a downtime through http call but could not delete the scheduled downtime using http call. Upon http call, I received a response of 200, which is OK but I don't see the scheduled downtime deleted from UI, Please advise.

http://<hostname>/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=78&down_id=282&btnSubmit=Commit

Thanks

The url looks correct. I assume the down_id was verified to be correct?
Enable log_external commands in nagios.cfg with the following change and restart nagios:

Code: Select all

log_external_commands=1

Now use a running tail to watch for the downtime delete:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log | grep EXTERNAL

You should see something down the lines of the following creation of downtime:

Code: Select all

[1410212421] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;gent;1410212415;1410219615;1;0;7200;Nagios Administrator;test

And then the deletion:

Code: Select all

[1410212437] EXTERNAL COMMAND: DEL_HOST_DOWNTIME;141

Thanks for your reply. I verified the down_id from UI.

Here is the request and responses for both schedule downtime and cancel downtime:

Code: Select all

Schedule Downtime HttpRequest:

http://test:testpwd@<hostname>/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=55&cmd_mod=2&host=testserver&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&fixed=1&hours=2&minutes=0&btnSubmit=Commit&start_time=09-08-2014 18:00:00&end_time=09-08-2014 19:00:00
<br>

HttpResponse:
<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>

Data in UI

Here is the request and response from can downtime:

Code: Select all

Cancel Downtime HttpRequest:

http://test:testpwd@<hostname>/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=78&down_id=284&btnSubmit=Commit

HttpResponse:
<P><DIV CLASS='infoMessage'>Please enter all required information before committing the command.<br>Required fields are marked in red.<br>Failure to supply all required values will result in an error.</DIV></P>

Looks like btnSubmit is not working.

Also, Is there a way to cancel the downtime using hostname or service name instead of downtime id?

[abrist]

ok, I will have to test with 2.2 and get back to you.

Also, Is there a way to cancel the downtime using hostname or service name instead of downtime id?

No, as you may have multiple downtimes set on the object. The id is the only way.
