Hi,

I have added few hosts in Nagiosxi and I have added hostgroups in the host definitions instead of adding them as a member in hostgroup definition. I now want to add another hostgroup to one of the hosts keeping its already added hostgroups intact.

I know I can do it from UI using manage hostgroups but can someone help me if there is a way to do it using command line? May be using REST API or Database query? I need it to put in a script.

I am OK to delete the hosts and recreate but I first need the list of already existing hostgroups in that host definition before deleting and recreating.

I have tried following REST API but it doesn't give hostgroups list in the output.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I suppose you should be using object/hostgroup part of API instead..

this should list all your host groups.

Thanks for the input, folks! @ddaluka let us know if you have further questions.

Hi All,

Thank you for your inputs. I have now managed to get this information from database as a list of hostgroups for a host and then recreating the hosts definition after appending new hostgroups using perl script.

Awesome! Did you have additional questions regarding this topic, or can we close this thread?

Yes.. We can close this thread. Thanks for your support
