Filter Down hosts from list of unknown service statuses

[andrewatmacys]

When running a report, I can see unknown service statuses, but I would like to filter out hosts that are down, showing only hosts that are up/pingable. Is there a way to do this with the report function or the API?

Hello, @andrewatmacys. What kind of report are you looking for? There is no way to run reports against hosts in OK state only, but you can create a hostgroup for these hosts and run a report against a hostgroup.

That's pretty much exactly what I was wondering if I could do, if that makes sense.

I take it that means that there's no way to do that through the API as well?

You can do this through the api

If you are using the objects/hoststatus API you would just add the following to the API URL

Code: Select all

&current_state=0

Thank you!

One more question, is there a way to see when a host was added to a hostgroup, like a date? Say if I added a host to Linux-servers yesterday, it would come back telling me it was added on 12/11/2018?

Unfortunately you probably won't be able to get that information. The closest you could get would be that the Admin > Audit Log or Configure > Core Config Manage > CCM > Audit log shows:

Code: Select all

2018-12-12 16:29:43	228	Core Config Manager	MODIFY	nagiosadmin	localhost	Host group modified: linux-servers

But it doesn't show what hosts were added/removed from it.

I've requested that a feature be added:

FR: XI - Audit Log: Show which hosts/services were added/removed from hostgroups/servicegroups in the audit logs
