Nagios API Notifications Enable/Disable

[vy3734]

How to enable/disable notifications per host via the Nagios API?

That's not built into the XI API yet, but Core still supports this via the command file:

http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/ext ... mand_id=16

More commands can be found here:

http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/ext ... ndlist.php

You can also send in commands through NRDP if you have that set up. I am going into a remote session at the moment so I don't have time for a full write-up, but I did a project a while back that does this sort of thing:

https://github.com/tmcnag/nagduino/blob ... gduino.cpp

If you or someone on your team knows C you can build up a command from there, otherwise post back here and I'll see about some example code.

No proper API call for this exists as of now, but there are ways around that

If you haven't changed your default timeperiods in Nagios XI, you should still have 1 labeled "none". As a workaround, you can use the POST config/host to update the host to use the "none" timeperiod as the notification_period. This would look something like:

Code: Select all

curl -XPOST "http://[YOURNAGIOSXIURL]/api/v1/config/host?apikey=[YOURAPIKEY]&pretty=1" -d "host_name=[HOST_NAME]&address=[ADDRESS]&check_command=[CHECK_COMMAND]&max_check_attempts=[MAX_CHECK_ATTEMPTS]&check_period=[CHECK_PERIOD]&contacts=[CONTACTS]&notification_interval=[NOTIFICATION_INTERVAL]&notification_period=none&applyconfig=1"

Make sure you fill out all the required fields (host_name, address, max_check_attempts, check_period, notification_interval, notification_period, contacts OR contact_groups)
