I’m trying to schedule downtime for a host (all services) via the icinga2 API. We’re using the icingadb module, which I understand is mutually exclusive with the older monitoring module, so its /icingaweb2/monitoring/host/schedule-downtime interface for scheduling downtime through icingaweb2 isn’t available to me.
When I schedule the downtime directly on one of our icinga2 nodes, it shows up briefly in /icingaweb2/icingadb/downtimes, and then goes away. Something seems to be overwriting it. My suspicion is that this is icingaweb2 (or the director module) doing this somehow because I didn’t schedule the downtime through it, I did it directly on the icinga node. But so far as I can see, there is no API way to schedule downtime through icingaweb2 or director when using the icingadb module, so the only way to do it via API is directly on the node with the icinga2 API. We have 2 nodes called icinga3 and icinga4. icinga3 is the “main” one where changes are made, and then sync’ed over to icinga4. Does anyone know if there’s a way to schedule downtime via API in this setup? Or if there’s a way to get icingaweb2 to pick up on downtime scheduled directly on a node this way? Thanks!
