Hi Guys,
I am a bit new to icinga advanced topics. I have setup a test icinga env. I was able to successfully create hosts via the director API. Is there a way to create hosts via the icinga API itself not using the director API ?

Be aware that those objects will not show up in the Director and they are gone in case you delete the /var/lib/icinga2/api directory.

Thanks @log1c & @moreamazingnick . It worked. I was able to create & delete the hosts via the icinga api. The hosts are created in dir - /var/lib/icinga2/api/packages/_api/some_random_chars/conf.d/hosts. Is there a way to change this default dir where my hosts will be placed when i create it via the icinga API ?
