Mass delete of host/service downtimes.

[Páll Guðjón Sigurðsson]

The posts inspired me to write downtime support in pynag command-line utility. Works both via livestatus or more traditional writing directly to nagios command pipe.

I dont mean to make this mailing list a pynag announcement one, but considering the questions brought i thought others might enjoy the script as well :)


Example usage:

# List downtimes
pynag downtime --list [where host_name='example.com']

# Schedule new downtimes, works for hosts,services,hostgroups,servicegroups
pynag downtime where host_name=localhost 
pynag downtime where hostgroup_name=webservers --comment "Scheduled maintainance on everything in hostgroup"
pynag downtime where service_description__contains='vmware' --comment 'Downtime on everything that is vmware'

# Remove a single downtime:
pynag downtime --remove where id=100

# Remove all downtimes matching search filter
pynag downtime --remove where comment="Scheduled Maintainance"
