Create service by command line

[steph007]

Hi,

I'm using something the Bulk Host Cloning and Import to create multiple Hosts in Nagios XI, and I wondering if something similar exist for Services?
I have to create a lot of services and would use something similar.
If not, is there a command line that I can use to create a service? I could at that moment use a script to create all my services I need to add.

Hi @steph007,

There are couple of options here. One approach is to create a service and then assigned this service to a hostgroup in the CMM. All of the hosts in the hostgroup will inherit the service.

We have a Pro Tip video on how to do this that I would recommend watching.

You can also use the REST API to add a service to a host. The API is fully documented in the user interface, got to Help > API Docs. Then find the Config Reference in the left-hand sidebar, and got to POST > config/service.

Let us know if you have more questions.
