Event - Request Format
URL: /rest/event
This requires authentication. Requires VIEWALL or VIEWSOME permission.
GET— returns event data for requested objects.POST,PUT,DELETE— not implemented.
An event is considered to be either:
- a host or service changing state (eg, from OK to CRITICAL).
- a host or service result during soft failures (eg, CRITICAL SOFT 1 to CRITICAL SOFT 2).
- a host or service in a failure state where alert every failure is enabled (seen as “volatile” in the API output).
- an acknowledgement.
- a downtime start.
- a downtime stop (or cancel).
Access Control Copied
- VIEWALL allows all event data to be returned.
- VIEWSOME allows event data to be returned for objects where permission has been granted for the service based on the access object selection.
Troubleshooting Copied
If you experience slow response times from this API, you can override the default straight_join_num_objects_threshold value by adding the following configuration to your user variables in Opsview Deploy and running the orchestrator_install playbook.
Lowering the threshold can help improve performance
