Am I blind or is there no endpoint to add a comment? I want our ticketing system to add a comment of the ticket # when it gets an alert from Nagios.

Hi Bandit,
The way to do that would be to use
POST system/corecommand endpoint to send a
Core command that will add a comment.
For example:
Code: Select all
curl -XPOST "https://192.168.23.113/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/corecommand?apikey=sCWXTQ3rHtm483AgRUUtLi04v5ECCVmktCCGoU8mINpPPflWafJbRKeGO8fGjUh6" -d "cmd=ADD_HOST_COMMENT;localhost;1;%user%;This is a test comment"
Let me know if that works for you.
Benjamin

This will work, but what permissions are needed? I had a read only user that it wouldn't work even though they had API access. I then changed to this and still get Authentication failed

I tried it with my admin user's api key and it works great.

Currently regular users only have access to the objects API endpoint, they would need to be an admin to use the other endpoints (system/config/etc).
