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.
Testservicecheck - Request Format
This REST API is able to run tests against an active plugin service check so that we can get an immediate response without going via the entire monitoring engine. This is useful for troubleshooting.
Requires TESTSOME or TESTALL.
It is possible to change the arguments to use on the plugin, if the user has TESTCHANGE permission.
Note
This will not execute the check exactly as the monitoring system would do as there are some environment variables that cannot be set appropriately via the REST API.
URL: /rest/testservicecheck?hostname=X&servicename=Y
Only works for services.
Methods:
GET— Retrieves data for the test service check tab.POST— Executes the test service check.PUT,DELETE— unimplemented.
