Nagios XI: availability of additional modules for use with A

[inversecow]

Ahoy folks,

FYI, my users have been working to make extensive use of Ansible && Ansible Tower as of late, including with regards to Nagios XI.
Up to this point, they use these products to stage / install / configure the NCPA on a given managed node (various OSes, EG: Linux & Windows).
As part of this, they are using the Nagios XI API to perform tasks like "host registration" (making API calls to create HOST records within CCM).

To this end, they have inquired if there is more extensive modules on offer (EG: 3rd party ones), beyond what comes with [Ansible itself](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest ... ios-module)?
Is there modules available that parallel what is made available via the Nagios XI API interfaces?

Are there any pre-existing ansible modules for interacting with these APIs in a idempotent way?

---
Nagios XI 5.6.x
NCPA 2.2.x
Ansible Engine 2.9.x
Ansible Tower 3.6.x

Signed,

The only things we have currently are this video series which walks you through the Ansible NCPA deploy/auto register functionality:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... l-819.html

Which uses the Ansible stuff from here on the XI system:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/automation/ansible

That's all we have at this time, they are pretty basic and just do NCPA/autoregister examples.

Ahoy Sean,

Thanks for this update.

How might one go about booking an RFE to have the DEV team add to this offering?

Thanks,
