Force immediate check of multiple services

[hbouma]

We have a specific service on all monitored Windows servers called "Windows Uptime". I am being asked if there is a way to force all these services to recheck in bulk, like after a patching cycle, using the API.

In the latest version of XI you can do this from
Home -> Incident Management -> Mass Immediate Check

That would work if they were all on one server. In this case, they are spread across 6 servers. We are hoping to have something we can script to automatically run after patching, followed by a script we already wrote that pulls the value of the services for each of these checks.

If you would like to script it you can pass the external command using the following as an example

Thank you. I was able to alter this to use the API and force this check.
