Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am writing a script to find hosts without a defined contact_group. I am using the RESTful API. The API call I am using does not return a contact or contact_group attribute. According to the object definition document, contact_group is an attribute of host. What am I missing?

Hello, @ffffffffffff. Yes, we've actually put a note for our developers this morning for this issue. Have you considered running a JSON query through the core? http://your_xi_ip/nagios/jsonquery.html Select Object JSON CGI and then query Host.
You could also embed a basic authentication in your query, just like that:

Code: Select all

Thanks for the quick reply. I have not considered that, nor did I know about it. The current API is great. Exposing the rest of Nagios would be very beneficial.

@ffffffffffff Is it OK to close this topic, and mark it as "resolved"? Thanks!
