2.In the same attached screen shot. we found some host are flapping between states
i. is it possible to pull the report of flapping host for this network link hostgroup ?

In XI, you can get information from the backend API in XML format. Unfortunately, there is no way through backend url gets to query the status of specific hosts in a hostgroup. But you can use the backend to get all the necessary data in xml, you just need to do some parsing and organization:

Code: Select all

http://<ip>/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=gethoststatus
http://<ip>/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=gethoststatus&is_flapping=1
http://<ip>/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=gethostgroupmembers&hostgroup=<hostgroup>

yeah,

thanks

may i get the similar kind of parameters which are available in nagios to pull various reports. which would be helpful for us.

for ex like the below

?cmd=gethoststatus
?cmd=gethoststatus&is_flapping=1
?cmd=gethostgroupmembers&hostgroup=<hostgroup>

I'd recommend having a look at this:

Now you should be able to access the information you need.
