What is the version of Nagios XI that you are currently using? Do you see any errors database errors in the logs? Do you see this host and its service in the CCM? It is possible that you never applied configuration after adding the host and/or the service. If configuration applied successfully, you should be able to see the host and the service in the GUI (and search for it).

I haven't been able to recreate the issue in Nagios XI 5.8.5.

The search worked fine for me.

The REST API command worked as well:

Hi Team,

We are using nagios version 5.7.5. Not getting any output with curl command. see below the error.

But we can able to see the host in CCM and home dashboard

[root@nagiosphy2 ~]# curl -XGET "http://10.x.x.x/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects ... ption=Ping"
{
"error": "No valid data returned."
}
[root@nagiosphy2 ~]#

Hi,

I tried this on both 5.7.5 and using the latest version and I'm able to get it to work so it's not a bug in the API. However the first time, I got the same error as I had an error in the hostname. Please double-check the syntax, and run it again or temporarily change the hostname to a short string for testing purposes.

Code: Select all

curl -XGET "http://192.168.164.133/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/rrdexport?apikey=PAJkqQr2sTiBvq5hOGuOgqeQYeMdeOXjEWGk3omOhXl6HqmMmTAWEN3S2OlfSCBM&pretty=1&host_name=ABSA%20BANK-DEVKI%20ATHI%20RIVER%20ATM-%20BV000191-2MB&service_description=Ping"

Let us know if you get it working.
