Opsview 6.8.x End of Support

With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.

The documentation for version 6.8.9 and earlier versions will remain accessible for the time being, but it will no longer be updated or receive backports. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.

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.
