Adding customvars support for hoststatus/servicestatus API

[gzaloprgm]

Hi,
I was wondering if you are planning on officially adding "customvars=1" support for the hoststatus/servicestatus API endpoints. We are trying to display custom variable information from the API into a NOC-like view inside Nagios Fusion.

It shouldn't be that hard (copying parts of the code from utils-xmlobjects to utils-xmlstatus, changing object_id to host/service_object_id seems to work), but there might be some posible optimizations to avoid doing a query for each host/service.

Thanks, Gonzalo

Hello Gonzalo,

That functionality was added in Nagios XI 5.6. What version are you currently using?

Hi
I'm using latest XI (5.6.6), and that option is available for objects/host and objects/service endpoints but not for objects/hoststatus nor objects/servicestatus (the ones I need).

Thanks, Gonzalo

Yes you would need to make multiple API calls
