API Question

I've been digging through the API documentation, but I can seem to find a call\filter for seeing what hosts have a host template applied. I was thinking maybe:
https://nagiosxi.windstream.com/nagiosx ... onfig/host?
with use=templatename as a filter, but that pulls back all hosts. Is there any good API method to see what hosts have a host template applied?

Hi
@J.A.K,
That would be the best endpoint to pull this from. You can filter this down using a script to pull just the host name and corresponding template files.
While we do not provide customer programming in support, here's a sample script (using python 3):
Code: Select all
import requests
import json
# Update IP Address / API key with your server information
api = {'baseurl':'http://192.168.23.113/nagiosxi',
'key':'?apikey=sCWXTQ3rHtm483AgRUUtLi04v5ECCVmktCCGoU8mINpPPflWafJbRKeGO8fGjUh6',
'config_hosts': '/api/v1/config/host'
}
def get_api_data(url,endpoint,key):
data = requests.get(url + endpoint + key, verify=False )
return data
r = get_api_data(api['baseurl'],api['config_hosts'],api['key'])
hosts = r.json()
# Print out host name and templates
i = 0
while i < len(hosts):
print( hosts[i]['host_name'], end=",")
try:
for template in hosts[i]['use']:
print(template, end=',')
except:
print("No Template Assigned", end=",")
i = i + 1
print('\n')
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Sounds good thank you! I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a filter already before I reinvented the wheel.

I apologize for breaking in into this thread,
Is there a place where we can share custom API endpoints?
I've written an custom API endpoint for retrieving free variables from hosttemplates.
I would like to share my custom API endpoint, and would like to see what others have written
Kind regards,
Joris Weijters

Hi Joris,

Not a problem. That would be great. Right now, the best place would be on the
Nagios Exchange in the Utilities category. You can upload a file or post a link to your GitHub or other code sharing site.
Best Regards,
Benjamin
