Hi,

Is it possible to script scheduled downtime?
I'd like to automate a few things

Hi @Phil.Pearce,

On Nagios Exchange there are actually a few scripts that can help you out. Along with a shell script example and a list of others.

Thanks @kyang!

@Phil.Pearce, please let us know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks
Im looking to automate scheduling downtime remotly, such as JSON?
I can see there are few things in the exchange, im wondering if anyone else has done this?

As of now you won't be able to use the API for scheduling downtime, but you could use an external command to do it from the CLI, i.e.:

You can view all external nagios commands here:
