API host record incomplete

[markmerchant]

Desc:
The host record returned from the API is incomplete. There are several required
fields missing. Most notably, contacts, check_period, etc. How do I discover those
using the API?

Thx.

Hello, @markmerchant. Some of the fields are not yet available. Many API features are getting added to the XI in version 5.5. Also, have you tried JSON CGIs?

Code: Select all

Navigate to this link:
http://<naghost>/nagios/jsonquery.html
Then you'd select in CGI -> Object JSON CGI
Query -> host
Select the hostname

[markmerchant]

Code: Select all

http://<naghost>/nagios/jsonquery.html

looks much more promising, I may be able to use that. Thx.
