The posts inspired me to write downtime support in pynag command-line utility. Works both via livestatus or more traditional writing directly to nagios command pipe.
I dont mean to make this mailing list a pynag announcement one, but considering the questions brought i thought others might enjoy the script as well :) Example usage: # List downtimes pynag downtime --list [where host_name='example.com'] # Schedule new downtimes, works for hosts,services,hostgroups,servicegroups pynag downtime where host_name=localhost pynag downtime where hostgroup_name=webservers --comment "Scheduled maintainance on everything in hostgroup" pynag downtime where service_description__contains='vmware' --comment 'Downtime on everything that is vmware' # Remove a single downtime: pynag downtime --remove where id=100 # Remove all downtimes matching search filter pynag downtime --remove where comment="Scheduled Maintainance" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rafał Radecki" <radecki.ra...@gmail.com> To: "Paul Dubuc" <w...@paul.dubuc.org> Cc: "Nagios Users List" <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 2:46:11 PM Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Mass delete of host/service downtimes.
