NagiosXI REST API for Hostgroup deatiled status

[jackuna]

Hello All,

I'm on my way to create a dashing dashboard for my Nagios XI Monitoring Status.
I can find almost all endpoints but the hostgroup summary endpoint is missing or i have missed something.

Current [ api-object-reference.php#objects-hostgroup ] just parses the Host group information with alias and name with ID, what i was looking for it's count of host and services with states, is there any thing like that.. I was using these customs within Icinga and it was really awesome.

Thanks

i don't think you'll be able to get the count natively.

don't worry, you're not out of luck - a couple other options:
- you could make your own API endpoint
- parse status.dat with some beautiful greps and wc -l

this would make a pretty cool feature request though, especially as some places work to standardize configs with CI's / CMDB. helps to confirm data in the monitoring system.

Thanks for the suggestions, but i figured out very productive way to get host, hostgroup , servicegroup and many status , objects in JSON format using an existing tool that has been shipped with default Nagios Core and which comes along with NagiosXI default installation too.

One can find here.

'https://your.server.ip/nagios/cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi?query=hostcount&hoststatus=up+down+unreachable+pending like so on.


Thanks
