Downtime with API

Icinga 2
1

Hi,

I want to set a schedule downtime for a hostgroup over the api.

With curl -k -s -u xxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxx ‘https://localhost:5665/v1/objects/hosts’

I become an output.

When I run the command :

curl -k -s -u xxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx -H ‘Accept: application/json’
-X POST ‘https://localhost:5665/v1/actions/schedule-downtime’
-d “$(jo -p pretty=true type=Host filter=“match(“update”, hosts.group)” all_services=true author=icingaadmin comment=“stepnova release” fixed=true start_time=$(date +%s -d “+0 hour”) end_time=$(date +%s -d “+1 hour”))”

I get
“error”: 404.0,
“status”: “No objects found.”

permissions are [*]

I must say that we use for the configuration the icinga director.

Thanks for help.

Hi @kirschm

the host variable for groups is host.groups and not hosts.group.

Also the quotation marks have to be escaped in the json body and you may also require a wildcard to match groups like:
filter="match(\"*update*\", host.groups)"

Kind regards,

Hi,

the error ist away. Thank You .But i get with the query :

curl -k -s -u xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxx -H ‘Accept: application/json’
-X POST ‘https://localhost:5665/v1/actions/schedule-downtime’
-d “$(jo -p pretty=true type=Host filter=“match(“update”, host.groups)” all_services=true author=icingaadmin comment=“stepnova release” fixed=true start_time=$(date +%s -d “+0 hour”) end_time=$(date +%s -d “+1 hour”))”

{
“results”: []
}

And in the group update are servers.

object Host “cn01” { import “generic-host-stufe-5” display_name = “cn01” address = “xxxxxxxxxxx” groups = [ “generic-host-stufe-5”, “tc-clusternodes”, “update” ] vars.Betriebssystem = [ “Linux” ] vars.Standort = [ “Kiel” ] vars.xinethost = [ “ja” ] }

Kind regards

Hi,

I find the solution. filter="match(“update”, host.groups, MatchAny) . MatchAny must be set if the servers are in more the one group.

Thanks und Kind regards

Hi,

glad that you solved it. There are also other ways for that:

filter="host.groups.contains("update")"
or
filter=""update" in host.groups"

but i think these don’t work with wildcards.

Kind regards
