Hi, we plkan to schedule an downtime and delete the downtime automatically. We are using windows servers.
the best thing i was able to do was to create hoist groups, and then use the curl and date implementation from cygwin.

So my script is:

Code: Select all

echo set variables
set nagiosserver=https://servername
set apikey=gggxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfffffffffffff
set hostgroups=%1
set comment=%2

if "%1"=="" goto :ERROR
if "%2"=="" goto :ERROR

echo set time
for /f %%i in ('D:\nagios-downtime\date1.exe +%%s') do set start_time=%%i
for /f %%j in ('D:\nagios-downtime\date1.exe +%%s -d "+2 Minutes"') do set finish_time=%%j

echo run program
echo D:\nagios-downtime\curl.exe --insecure -XPOST "%nagiosserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/scheduleddowntime?apikey=%apikey%&pretty=1" -d "comment=%comment%&start=%start_time%&end=%finish_time%&hostgroups[]=%hostgroups%&all_services=1"
D:\nagios-downtime\curl.exe --insecure -XPOST "%nagiosserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/scheduleddowntime?apikey=%apikey%&pretty=1" -d "comment=%comment%&start=%start_time%&end=%finish_time%&hostgroups[]=%hostgroups%&all_services=1"

Running the script is:
schedule-downtime.cmd devsystem Testdowntime

This works perfect. All hosts and services in the devsystem hostgroup are now in downtime mode for 2 minutes.

Now I want to finish the downtime for a complete hostgroup. How can I do this?
The documentation tells me that deleting a downtime requires the following info:

system/scheduleddowntime/<internal_id>
Deletes a scheduled downtime from the Nagios XI system. The downtime ID can be found in objects/downtime.

But the objects/downtime command gives me a list back with several information. How can I find out which IDs belong to a specific hostgroup?

So, i am one step closer ...
I made the following script:

Code: Select all

echo set variables
set nagiosserver=https://servername
set apikey=gggxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfffffffffffff


for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('D:\nagios-downtime\curl --insecure -XGET "%nagiosserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/downtime?apikey=%apikey%&pretty=1&host_group=TC016" ^| findstr internal_id') do (
rem echo %%i
set item=%%i
set item=!item:~2,-2!
echo Finish Downtime for internal_id !item!
D:\nagios-downtime\curl  --insecure -XDELETE "%nagiosserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/scheduleddowntime/!item!?apikey=%apikey%&pretty=1"
)

Unfortunately it will delete all downtimes in the system. I can use the following command to search for a dedicated command:
...&pretty=1&comment_data=ITL_Test2"
This will search for only services or hosts with the fixed comment I used when initiating the downtime. Unfortunately two host groups can get the same comment, so it will be better if I can use the host_group for searching:
...&pretty=1&host_group=TC016"

But this query gives me all items back, also one which are not in hostgroup TC016

How can I specify a hostgroup in this query?

OK, I finally found the information i was looking for.
Here is my script for finishing an downtime by selecting hostgroups:

Code: Select all

SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

REM set variables
set PATH=%PATH%;%~dp0
set nagiosserver=https://servername
set apikey=fPMIubC0KGPSesbNki2k48OEeaTPO6X3bJKITDYTvOLMgVQTdRuAZiatr4Cfp
set hostgroup=%1

if "%1"=="" goto :ERROR

REM run program
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in ('curl.exe --insecure -XGET "%nagiosserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/downtime?apikey=%apikey%&pretty=1&host_name=lk:%hostgroup%" ^| findstr internal_id') do (
set item=%%i
set item=!item:~2,-2!
echo Finish Downtime for internal_id !item!
curl.exe  --insecure -XDELETE "%nagiosserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/scheduleddowntime/!item!?apikey=%apikey%&pretty=1"
)

GOTO :EOF
