Update status in Nagios Xi

[Saha]

I want to update the status of the service/host (ex. from critical to OK after running a script in the server or want to keep the status as OK all the time)
do we have rest api for that , please help!

Is there any way we can create a new status fro certain service/host?

[scottwilkerson]

Yes you can do this via the API
Help -> API Docs -> System Reference -> system/corecommand

The format of the commands would follow either of these external commands
Services
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... and_id=114

Hosts
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... and_id=115

Thanks scottwilkerson for the quick response

Tried system/corecommand and got this response "{"cmd":"PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;localhost:HTTP;0;nagiosadmin;OK- Everything Looks Great\\n","success":"Command submitted"}"

but it is not reflecting in the service Status of Nagios GUI.

I just tested the following on my system

Code: Select all

[root@localhost nagiosxi]# ccurl -XPOST "http://192.168.5.XXX/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/corecommand?apikey=APIKEY" -d "cmd=PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;localhost;HTTP;0;OK- Everything Looks Great\n"
{"cmd":"PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;localhost;HTTP;0;OK- Everything Looks Great\\n","success":"Command submitted"}

when I go look at HTTP on localhost I see

OK- Everything Looks Great

It is worth noting that the state will only last until the next check result comes in.

scottwilkerson , it is not working for me.
Do i need to enable any parameter in cfg file.

[scottwilkerson]

You do need the following in the nagios.cfg

Code: Select all

accept_passive_host_checks=1
accept_passive_service_checks=1

Also, you need to make sure you didn't specifically disable passive checks in the service .cfg with the passive_checks_enabled directive

Hi scottwilkerson,

already
passive_checks_enabled = 1 in file /usr/local/nagios/etc/servicetemplates.cfg
and
accept_passive_host_checks=1
accept_passive_service_checks=1 in file /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
(not able to find service.cfg)

still system/corecommand are not updating status in nagios Gui.
please help!

Thanks in advance

[scottwilkerson]

Lets run the following:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

While that is running, submit the command again from the API and see if you see any errors of note
