Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

We use to send dowtime to set Nagios blackout period with nagios.cmd.

Now we upgraded with Nagios xi, I see we need to get through API calls to set system downtime.
curl -XPOST "https://dcvprdmon/nagiosxi/api/v1/syste ... pikey=xxxx

I am wondering if there is still the legacy method working ?


Thanks

Yes you can still use commands through nagios.cmd

Thanks. I tried this legacy script but it seems no downtime is commited on Nagios :
Any idea why it's not working ?

# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the CHANGE_HOST_CHECK_COMMAND command
# to Nagios. Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.
now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/usr/bin/printf "DISABLE_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;host;Check daemon batch\n" $now > $commandfile

This looks correct to just disable notifications for the service if the host is host and the service_description is Check daemon batch

But this command doesn't schedule a downtime, that would look like the following
