Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am able to place the host/service in scheduled downtime using below command

curl --silent --show-error --data cmd_typ=86 --data cmd_mod=2 --data host="XXXXX" --data com_data="Placing server in scheduled downtime from command line" --data trigger=0 --data start_time="05-20-2019 17:20:00" --data end_time="05-20-2019 17:30:00" --data fixed=1 --data hours=2 --data minutes=0 --data btnSubmit=Commit --insecure https://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi -u username:passwd

Can you advice how to delete/cancel the services from maintenance mode ?

@bsivavani, You can schedule/delete downtime using the API. I think you need to upgrade to XI 5.6.2 to get access to these commands.
1. Get the ID number of a particular downtime you want to delete. 2. Delete downtime using ID number via API command:

You would need to know the scheduled downtime ID, The only way I know how to get this is the following:
What you are looking for is the value on the downtimelist

Then in XI from
Help -> API Docs -> System Reference
follow the DELETE system/scheduleddowntime/<internal_id>

replacing <internal_id> with the ID you extracted above

I tried with below command to cancel the scheduled downtime, but not able to remove/cancel maintenance mode.

curl --silent --show-error --data cmd_typ=86 --data cmd_mod=2 --data down_id=2 --data host="remotehost" --data com_data="Placing server in scheduled downtime from command line" --data trigger=0 --data fixed=1 --data childoptions=0 --data btnSubmit=Commit --insecure https://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi -u username:password

This isn't going to work.

First cmd_typ=86 is for creating downtime not removing it

Second, where did you get the ID (2) you are using as the down_id ?

If it was going to work this way at all it would be with the following, replacing XXXX with the actual downtime ID

Thanks for the update. Please close the request.
