Withdraw of the 6.9.2 Release
Unfortunately, due to critical issues identified with version 6.9.2, we have decided to remove it and ensure it's no longer available for download. These issues impacted the ability to install or upgrade but none were security-related. We are diligently working to resolve these issues and are planning to release an updated version 6.9.3 in early May.
What if you've already upgraded?For customers who have already upgraded to 6.9.2, no immediate action is required, as none of these issues are security-related. Once it's available, you will still be able to upgrade to 6.9.3 as normal. We appreciate your patience and trust as we continue to enhance our software to better serve you. Thank you for your understanding.
Config - Host Group
Object type: hostgroup
Request URL: /rest/config/hostgroup
Example GET Copied
{
"object" : {
"hosts" : [],
"parent" : {
"name" : "Opsview",
"matpath" : "Opsview,",
"ref" : "/rest/config/hostgroup/1"
},
"name" : "Production",
"id" : "2",
"children" : [
{
"name" : "London",
"ref": "/rest/config/hostgroup/7"
},

"name" : "Paris",

}
],
"uncommitted" : "0",
"matpath" : "Opsview,Production,",
"is_leaf" : 0
}
}
The matpath is a comma separated list of host groups that define this hostgroup’s location in the topology.
The parent contains a the “matpath” attribute to uniquely identify the parent for a host group as it is possible to have duplicated names in the host group hierarchy (from Opsview 3.11.2+).
If you GET with a parameter of order=dependency, the host groups will be listed based on a traversal of the hierarchy, so the top host group will be first and then it will go down a branch until it comes back up again (from Opsview 3.11.2+).
Take note of the following considerations:
- When PUTing, you cannot change the children - you can only change the topology by amending the parent. Also, the is_leaf and matpath field is calculated, so cannot be changed.
- When PUTing, the name must only include Unicode Letter or Number characters, and any of the following special characters:
./+-_. - The name column in NOT unique in host groups. Opsview has additional logic so that if you use a name and it cannot be found, then it will search based on the matpath (but the matpath has a 255 character limit). Use the id field where possible as that is unique.
