I put in a feature request in January 2016 for wildcards to work in the API urls. Was that ever completed and if so, their documentation on how ot use? I looked through the change log but didn't see it mentioned.

By chance do you have a link to the request so we can see what you were looking for? I'm not fully clear on the request, it may be implemented, but not sure

Basically I want to do an API call for service status where the hostname is like abc* or abc%
Code: Select all
https://xxxx.xxx.com/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/servicestatus?host_name=abc*&apikey=xxxxx&pretty=1"
The above being an example of what I'd like to do, get a service status list for all hosts that start with abc

If you click "type" you can see all the options

So in your example you would do this
Code: Select all
https://xxxx.xxx.com/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/servicestatus?host_name=lks:abc&apikey=xxxxx&pretty=1

Oh god, thanks you! I thought it was added before but just couldn't find it!
Close this up!

The only caveat we could not achieve was if you wanted to wildcard like abc*123
This wasn't an option and would need to be filtered after the results are pulled.
Closing ticket
