Automate adding services & Hosts

[anilgupta]

Team,

To achieve consistency and efficiency in operations, we would like to automate the process of adding services and hosts to monitor via NRPE.
Please share API to script this tasks.

You could review the REST API commands for adding hosts and services here:

Code: Select all

http://<ip address>/nagiosxi/help/api-config-reference.php#add-host
http://<ip address>/nagiosxi/help/api-config-reference.php#add-service

It's difficult to give you a specific example as we don't know what metrics you would like to monitor, and how the commands are defined on the client (remote machine)... You can however import any config that you would like via the REST API. See the import command syntax here:

Code: Select all

http://<ip address>/nagiosxi/help/api-config-reference.php#import
