how do I remote command line disable of event handlers

[Jdawg2002]

Hello,

I need to provide a way for our IT team to remotely disable event handlers. Ideally, this is done remotely through some sort of API/hook, but they could script out a login via the command line and run some sort of disable command on the Nagios machine if necessary. They do not have access to the Nagios XI GUI. I would like them to integrate a command into their maintenance scripts that will disable the event handlers I have set up when the IT team does upgrades/maintenance to the webservers that would otherwise cause the event handlers to fire.

Then, I would like to add another command to re-enable the event handlers at the very end of their maintenance script.

Can you help? Thanks.

you can do this via NRDP

Setup and same token in Admin -> Inbound Transfer

Then you can submit the command through
http://nagios_server/nrdp/

The command you want to use is one of the following

Code: Select all

DISABLE_EVENT_HANDLERS
DISABLE_HOST_EVENT_HANDLER
DISABLE_SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER

formats of the commands can be found here
