Filtering

[tonkaUser]

Hi,

We on-board network devices that have a lot of ports. Some ports are not used. When we finish using wizard, Nagios discovers which ports are down. That's legitimate. I want to get to a view that would allow me to filter all services that are in warning/critical with ability to deactivate them? How can I do it.
I went to CCM->Services but it does not have a column for the last status check.

Thanks

There is not a way to do that at this time without two screens (or a print off of the down). Brace yourself, better CCM integration is coming: https://www.nagios.com/roadmaps/

Can you suggest if there is API in Nagios that would allow to do something like this: get a list of all failed services, if the host matches some string then disable the service.

Thanks

All of the API functions are at http://YOURSERVER/nagiosxi/help/ . If it isn't there, then it doesn't exist in the current version. We are working to improve the API and the plan is to have complete feature parity with the UI. I do not know when the fully functional API would be available, but certainly not before XI 6.0:

Thanks. There's an API to create a service not to deactivate it. If I try to create an existing object but with disabled notification, would that overwrite the existing service for that host?

Yes. One thing that trips people up sometimes is the apply config will fail if you don't have a full service/host entry. However, you can use the force flag to modify. The danger of not doing a full recreation is that you could have errors, but at this time there isn't a modify option.

Thanks. We're all good with it. Please close this tread.
