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.
