Using - Nagios 2.10
RHEL 5

Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of creating an external webpage in PHP that allows our team to set bulk downtimes after, say, a round of MS patches.

I am at the point where my PHP page outputs the following for each host chosen with the idea that it'll be appended to downtime.dat:

hostdowntime {
      host_name=nagios.fsu.edu
      downtime_id=11
      entry_time=1201704159
      start_time=1201704115
      end_time=1201711315
      triggered_by=0
      fixed=1
      duration=7200
      author=Edson Manners
      comment=Blahh
      }


This is in the format of the downtime.dat file. However the top of the downtime.dat file warns that it should not be modified but by nagios itself. Is there some API supported way to add downtime to nagios using external programs or is this the way to do it?
Thanks
