Defining Host Custom Variables via the API

[William Pool]

I'm trying to define a custom host variable using the API, but looking at http://nagrestconf.smorg.co.uk/documentation/restreference.php it's not apparent to me how to do it.

Anyone have any nrcq snippets for doing it?

Thanks!

For example something like this:

        {{ nrcq_bin }} {{nagrestconf_url }} add/hosts -d name:{{ ansible_hostname }} \

         -d alias:{{ ansible_fqdn }} \

         -d ipaddress:{{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }} \

         -d template:host-{{ localhost_environment }} \

         -d hostgroup:hosts-{{ localhost_client }}-{{ localhost_environment }} \

         -d contact:sagroup-workhours \

         -d contactgroups:sa-page-workhours \

         -d activechecks:1 \

         -d servicesets:'{{ localhost_environment|upper }}{{ '-' }}LINUX' \

             -d customvars:'_jmxurl service:jmx:rmi://hostfqdn.com:10002/jndi/rmi://hostfqdn.com:10001/jmxrmi' \

        -d disable:0

Something along these lines . . .

Thanks! I'll give that a shot!

Worked thanks!

I'm trying to add a second custom var, but I don't see it in the GUI. However, the command didn't fail when I ran via the CLI either.

Am I using the proper syntax for adding a second custom var?

        {{ nrcq_bin }} {{nagrestconf_url }} add/hosts -d name:{{ ansible_hostname }} \

         -d alias:{{ ansible_fqdn }} \

         -d ipaddress:{{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }} \

         -d template:host-{{ localhost_environment }} \

         -d hostgroup:hosts-{{ localhost_client }}-{{ localhost_environment }} \

         -d contact:sagroup-workhours \

         -d contactgroups:sa-page-workhours \

         -d activechecks:1 \

         -d servicesets:'{{ localhost_environment|upper }}{{ '-' }}LINUX' \

             -d customvars:'_jmxurlservice:jmx:rmi://hostfqdn.com:10002/jndi/rmi://hostfqdn.com:10001/jmxrmi' \

         -d customvars:'_hostcommunity|host:{{ snmp_community }}' \

        -d disable:0

Thanks,!
