Group operations over host group

I am evaluating Nagios XI. The question: is there simple means to perform operations over all hosts from host group? Such as: changing hosts/services status/mass editing parameters for services.
I found no means to do that from Web interface. Are there any existing tools that could help me in that? Any direction would be much appreciated.

Our Enterprise Edition features in XI can be tried out for 60 days, and they include a Bulk Modifications tool for just this sort of thing. If you go to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Tools -> Bulk Modifications, you can enable the Enterprise trial and start using the bulk mod features.

@tmcdonald Thanks for directions. Yes, I know of 60 days trial period, this is why I ask. I also wish to understand how quickly I can learn using its API, for better automation.

There is no bulkmod API at this time, but you can certainly use the standard backend api for most items that you would wish to script modifications for. Did you have any further questions or did tmcdonald's bulk mod answer that for you?

@sreinhardt I understand ther's no existing API for Core, and will try corresponding tools from XI. Thanks.
