Nagios Support Forum

I've been looking at utilising the API to help with our oncall implementation. I was attempting to use the put contact to update the email address for a contact however when i try i get the following

curl -XPUT "http://[nagios address]/api/v1/config/contact/testcontact?apikey=[secret api key]&pretty=1&email=jsmith"
{
"success": "Updated testcontact in the system. Config imported but not yet applied."
}

When i check why its not restarted it's because it's created a blank command as testcontact instead of updating the already created contact testcontact. When using post or delete it works correctly but put contact doesn't seem to work.

I'm using 5.6.3

I was able to recreate the issue - there is a typo in one of the files.

Open /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/includes/utils-api.inc.php in a text editor, and go to line 387. Replace this: with this: Let us know if this helped.

This solved the problem, it updates the contact, I still get "config imported but not applied" when i run the command though

This part is normal, if you want to apply configuration immediately, you would want to add the following to the URL in the curl command
