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.

Request

The following verbs are allowed:

• GET — retrieve either an object information or a list of objects.
• PUT — update. Will also create if the object does not currently exist. Will return the object after update.
• POST — create when POSTed to an objecttype URL, clone when POSTed to an object URL. However, creations will update if the object already exists. Will return the object after creation.
• DELETE — delete object. Will return a hash with response {“success”:1}.

The data passed to the API is in the form of key/value pairs. The key is a string, but the value can be a string, an array or an associative hash.

• When updating data, keys that are unexpected are silently ignored.
• Values in an array are expected to be related objects in a hash format. If the related object is not in a hash format, you will get an HTTP 400 error with the message: Error when parsing data, and detail: Not a HASH: name.
• An error will be raised if related objects cannot be found.
