Disable Notification using Command Line

[elealyngarcia]

Hi,

We are creating a restoration test for our Nagios XI server, is it possible to disable the Notification using CLI instead of using the UI?

Do you mean you want to disable all notifications for all hosts/services in XI? Or just for one host?

If the former, you could just shut down the monitoring engine, otherwise Nagios XI has an API that can do it:

Code: Select all

curl -X POST \
    -d "cmd=DISABLE_NOTIFICATIONS" \
    "http://192.168.5.xx/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/corecommand?apikey=API_KEY"

For one host only:

Code: Select all

curl -X POST \
    -d "cmd=DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;<my_host_name>" \
    "http://192.168.5.xx/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/corecommand?apikey=API_KEY"

Your API key can be found in your profile (click your user name top right corner of screen).

There are lots of external commands that you might find interesting.
