Web Services for obtaining Host Monitooring data

Post by picario »

Hello all,

Are there web services APIs for obtaining Host Monitooring data (such as CPU / mem utilizations) in Nagios?

Thanks!

I would recommend taking a look at the following document, it will outline how to use the backend API provided with Nagios XI:

Let us know if you have any questions.

@picario - It IS supported and included in XI, and outlined how to access the API in the Doc slansing referenced.

Having an API doc does not mean everything is supported, I can't find any API to read the RRD data, i.e. the historical monitoring data of each host being monitored (CPU/Memory/disk etc)

You are correct, however your original question was:

which very much is supported. You made no mention of historical data.
