Reschedule check for one service on one host

Hi,

I want to use the API to reschedule a check for a single service on a single host. I thought the reschedule-check endpoint made the most sense seeing as I want to be able to force it, however I cannot seem to understand the correct logic to target a single service on a single host.

If I am reading the docs correctly, you can target either all services on the host, or all hosts, but not a single service on a single host using this rechedule-check endpoint.

Is there another/better way of achieving this particular objective?

For context, I have my Ubuntu gear checked once a day for a reboot. I want to execute a script that puts the host into downtime, reboots it, and then forces the check for the reboot so that the service returns to normal to indicate the successful reboot.

Thanks.

That’s it. Sorry , I feel silly. I was just reading on how to do multiple objects and I didn’t see the connection.

Thanks again!
