The links you posted are for the OLD API version, but the screenshot appears to be for the NEW API. For the older backend component, here is how you could drill down to a specific host -

Code: Select all

http://192.168.3.115/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=gethoststatus&username=nagiosadmin&ticket=32klfcka&name=localhost

Just append &name= to specify further what you're looking for.

As for the newer API, I would look at the Help -> Config Reference (this is the part that applies to making configuration changes through the API.

You can modify the time periods here as needed, as you'll see these as the optional variables.

Code: Select all

host_name 	host name
address 	ip address
max_check_attempts 	#
check_period 	timeperiod_name
contacts
or
contact_groups 	contacts
or
contact_groups
notification_interval 	#
notification_period 	timeperiod_name

An example call to do so -

Code: Select all

curl -XPOST "http://192.168.3.115/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/host?apikey=32klfcka&pretty=1" -d "host_name=testapihostapply&address=127.0.0.1&check_command=check_ping\!3000,80%\!5000,100%&max_check_attempts=2&check_period=24x7&contacts=nagiosadmin&notification_interval=5&notification_period=24x7&applyconfig=1"
