I'm trying to automatically have a host in Icinga be disabled temporarily while Foreman rebuilds it. This prevents dozens of unnecessary alerts being generated.

The API call is as follows:

http://icinga.sal01.datacentred.co.uk/icinga-web/web/api/cmd/cmd=DISABLE\_ALL\_NOTIFICATIONS/authkey=mykey/target=host/data=myhost

The JSON result is:

{success

There are no errors in the icinga or icinga-web log files and the host notifications remain enabled. I can disable them in the UI and this works fine (the red megaphone icon appears to denote the host is disabled).

Anything I'm doing incorrectly or anywhere I can look to debug further?

Given that this isn't officially documented - could someone verify if the above API call would theoretically work?

verify that icinga web can send commands to the core, and the core is logging that as external command.

No feedback - we used the nagios API in the end.

Did you turn up any issues in the Icinga REST API?
