This functionality doesn't currently exist, but it could be scripted using the API and external commands.
For example, to get a list of hosts that are in a DOWN or UNKNOWN state and have not been acknowledged:
Code: Select all
curl -XGET "https://xi_ip/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/hoststatus?apikey=apikey&pretty=1&problem_has_been_acknowledged=0¤t_state=1" -k
curl -XGET "https://xi_ip/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/hoststatus?apikey=apikey&pretty=1&problem_has_been_acknowledged=0¤t_state=2" -k
Examples specific to your XI instance can be found under Help > API Docs > Objects Reference.
That will give you information like how long it has been in that state. After parsing the data out of the response you can submit an acknowledgement -

Have you had the chance to look at the documents I linked to? Is there something specific that needs clarification?

Hi,
is there any way to use POST or PUT methods in addition to GET?
what is the Nagios's roadmap to enhance API capabilities to include rest of functions ?

Yes, POST and PUT can be used to create or modify configurations. You can find examples under Help > API Docs > Config Reference, and System Reference.
We don't list any specific features for the API on our roadmaps page(
https://www.nagios.com/roadmaps/), but if you have something you'd like to see implemented, let us know and we can submit a feature request if needed.
