Access historial service data via REST API

General

Hello. Hoping someone can help with this.

I am currently accessing service details via REST API. I am wondering if I can query all the historical timestamps for when a service went critical. The services are simple PING services. I can see this historical information in the GUI as a graph.

I am using the endpoint: /domain-types/service/collections/all

I am using filter expressions to grab the exact services I want, and including the table columns I want included.

I could not find a column that stores this type of info. I suspect this data i’m seeing in the GUI is stored in rrd files not the db i’m querying with the api. Or is there a column I missed?

Or is there a way to build-a-custom-something-inside-checkmk to allow me to expose it to the outside?

Anyway, thanks for any help!

For historic events the Multisite views use a data source called “The Log”. This is currently not implemented in the REST API. But you can query it with the Multisite API (hint: output_format=json).

If you just add &output_format=json or csv to your GUI view you will get the results in a automation friendly format.

However if you have thousands of hosts spread across multiple sites this might not be the best way to solve your problem.
