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.
Recheck - Requesting
Re-checks are set asynchronously, so the REST API will return as soon as the submission is entered. There maybe a small delay before the result is displayed in the user interface. On successful submission of re-checks, the response will be of the form:
{
summary = > {
num_hosts = >....,
num_services = >....,
},
list = > {
hosts = >
[{
id = >..., hostname = >....
}, ],
services = >
[{
id = >..., hostname = >..., servicename = >...
}, ],
}
}
This reflects the number of hosts and services that this re-check applied to.
In the event of a failure, the response will be:
{
message => ...,
detail => ....,
}
Where message will be one of:
- No objects chosen for recheck (this could also appear if the user does not have access to the objects specified).
- Errors setting recheck - some objects may have been rechecked.
- Error when searching for objects.
Example Copied
You can use the below example call to force a recheck of all services against a given host:
./opsview_rest --pretty --username=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD POST "recheck?hostname=HOSTNAME&servicename=%"
If you only want to recheck the host and not any services on it, use:
./opsview_rest --pretty --username=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD POST "recheck?hostname=HOSTNAME&includehosts=1&type=host"
