While these are not available, the eventual goal is to be able to do pretty much anything via the API and the 5.5 release will contain some big improvements.

You can use the External Commands CGI to and uses curl commands of bash scripts to achieve what you want.
I have a few examples of the curl commands you can look at for examples.
This works for scheduling downtime for a host.

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_typ=55&cmd_mod=2&host=localhost&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&start_time=06-30-2016 18:30:00&end_time=06-30-2016 18:40:00&fixed=1&childoptions=0&btnSubmit=Commit" "http://192.168.112.130/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "nagiosadmin:nagiosadmin"

This for scheduling downtime for host and all of the services

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_typ=86&cmd_mod=2&host=localhost&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&start_time=02-08-2018 18:30:00&end_time=02-08-2018 18:40:00&fixed=1&childoptions=0&btnSubmit=Commit" "https://192.168.112.129/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "nagiosadmin:nagiosadmin" -k
