Use Nagios XI REST API to schedule downtime

[sib]

Hi

Is there a way to use Nagios REST api to schedule a downtime?

Our Backend API only provides information, it cannot accept commands. Is that the API you're talking about?

Exactly that is the one I was talking about.

You won't be able to use the API for scheduling downtime, but you could use an external command to do it from the CLI, i.e.:

You can view all external nagios commands here:
