Feel free to post back when you'd like to check for an update once again.
Can you provide an update and a rough timeframe of when these tasks will start to get worked?

It looks like they are still waiting to be approved and assigned to someone. I can't provide a timeframe, as I do not have one available, the best I can provide is the current status.

While not as elegant as using the API, I'd probably create hostgroup, and host boilerplate files, search and replace strings such as hostgroup name, hostname, and address, drop the files into the import dir and run the reconfig script. This would add the host, the host to the hostgroup, and apply monitoring to services that have the hostgroup assigned to them.
The hostgroup base file needn't have all the hosts, just the one to add. Import doesn't remove, it only adds to or modifies what's already in the config.
Combine this with templates and you can separate monitoring from host and service definitions entirely.

Thank you for the suggestion. That may be the route taken, depending on how long it takes for the API to be approved and rolled out. My co-worker who is working on that section wants to use the API and avoid file manipulation.

Thanks for the help, @gormank.

@chicjo01, I apologize this has not been implemented yet, the developers have a very high load at all times, and not all feature requests make it within a month or two of them being requested.
