Nagios 4.2.0 support REST API POST ?

[nagmoto]

From jsonqery.html interface, I only see query operation but not post to do update

https:/nagios.test.com/nagios/jsonquery.html

Searching around, looks like only Nagios XI support POST.

Question is how do I do REST post operation ?
ie, To trigger an alert from other system for a host using REST post operation.

If you want to update a host/service's status you are essentially talking about passive checks, for which you should be using NRDP:

If you are looking to create a new config with an API, that is only available in XI.

Thanks for the pointer on "POST" operation alternative (using NRDP), please close out this post.
