Missing REST API endpoints?

I currently have NagiosXI 5.3.0 installed on a CentOS 6.7 server. I've been looking to use the REST API, however, every time I try to GET anything, I get a 404 returned. Looking at the error logs, I see "File does not exist: /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/v1/system". Going to the /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/v1 directory, the only thing it contains is "index.php". After doing a search on my server, there are no other locations that contain the system, objects, or config endpoints.
What am I missing and how can I resolve this issue?

Could you post the full curl request you use?
By any chance did you install Nagios XI in custom location other than the default of /usr/local ?
Does the basic 'get host status' command work? Such as:
curl -XGET "http(s)://x.x.x.x/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/hoststatus?apikey=cbg02sl7&pretty=1"

NagiosXI is installed in /usr/local/.
curl -XGET "http://<myhost>/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/hoststatus?apikey=<mykey>&pretty=1" gets the following response:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/hoststatus was not found on this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at nagiosxi.accessdevelopment.com Port 80</address>
</body></html>
I get this response for anything under system and config too.
From /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[Thu Jan 05 15:07:51 2017] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/v1/objects
[Thu Jan 05 15:08:40 2017] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/v1/objects
The directory '/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/v1' only has one file in it, 'index.php'.

Did you do any editing of the nagiosxi.conf in the apache configuration? We add the following that should allow the index.php to manage all requests sent to the API:
Code: Select all
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule nagiosxi/api/v1/(.*)$ /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/v1/index.php?request=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
</IfModule>

It looks like the nagiosxi.conf file was changed in support of implementing SSL. Thankfully the original file was renamed to .old and I was able to use it as a context for updating the new file. Long story short, I'm able to get responses from the REST API now. Thanks for the assistance!

Glad to hear it is resolved. I am going to lock the thread. Please feel free to post again if you have you another issue. Thank you for using the Nagios forums!
