Hi @informatica,

That information can be retrieved using the REST API, specifically the GET host/config endpoint. You can call this with a python/bash script and build a list of hosts and child hosts.

Code: Select all

curl -XGET "https://<ipaddress>/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/host?apikey=<APIKEY>&pretty=1"

Output:

{
"host_name": "host1.com",
"use": [
"xiwizard_xml_host"
],
"address": "host1.com",
"parents": [
"localhost"
],

Best Regards,
Benjamin

Instead of API Do we have any other way to download the parent and child associated to which host ???

Hi,

You can view object relationships in the CCM by clicking on the relationships link under the Actions menu. However, to generate a list or report, that would have to be done using the API or directly pulled from the nagiosql database.
