Question Reference Backend APIs

Is it possible to add command arguments in the return data from Hosts and Services backend URL data pulls? If yes, what would I need to do to add this enhancement?

mrochelle,

The backend API does include check command arguments. In this case the check command argument is check_total_procs.

Code: Select all

<check_command>check_nrpe!check_total_procs!</check_command>
Is that what you were looking for?

Let me clarify, when I issue the backend URLs http://HOSTIP/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=get ... name...etc, the returned data dose not include command args with threshold data. I have the same request with getservices URL also. I'm guessing I may be able to modify the script to add these fields?
