[ibmkenexa]

Team,

Can you please provide commands to perform below actions for nagios host/service objects.

Disable - ?
Enable - ?
Schedule downtime - ?

I found below commands to disable/enable notifications. Now i am looking for individual host/service commands. Please help me.

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=12" "http://[YOUR ADDRESS]/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "[YOUR USERNAME]"

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=11" "http://[YOUR ADDRESS]/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "[YOUR USERNAME]"

I could find commands for disable, enable and schedule down time. Now i am stuck to add multiple hosts to add in that command. Please help me.

curl -k -d "cmd_typ=55&cmd_mod=2&host=XXXXX&start_time=10-18-2019 06:25:00&end_time=10-18-2019 06:30:00&btnSubmit=Commit" "https://0.0.0.0/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "xxxxxx"

How to execute command for multiple hosts ?

Hello @ibmkenexa,

For multiple hosts, this can be accomplished using the hostgroup commands. Take a look at the following commands:

SCHEDULE_HOSTGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME

DISABLE_HOSTGROUP_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS

You can also send these commands via REST API as well. The API will allow you to schedule downtime using an array of hosts. Go to Help > API Docs > System Reference for documentation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

How can we use api_key instead of -u user name in below commands

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=12" "http://[YOUR ADDRESS]/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "[YOUR USERNAME]"

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=11" "http://[YOUR ADDRESS]/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "[YOUR USERNAME]"

I was trying to use as below commands but it did not work.

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=12" "http://[YOUR ADDRESS]/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -d "'api_key=ddddffggghhhhh3664b'"

You cannot use an API key when calling the cmd.cgi directly, it is only possible if calling the XI API
Much of this can be done if calling the system/corecommand API in XI 5.6.8
