Bulk discovery from text list in distributed enviroment

[miwu]

Hi,

we would like to rediscover multiple hosts from a list of hostnames in our distributed enviroment. Wato search is not an option because rediscovery is required because of a special state we got from another tool. The hosts to be discovered are spread over all Slave-Sites and we don’t want to try to discover all of these hosts on all sites via cmk -IIv. Same for Web-API as far as i know.

Is there any way to just rediscover the hosts from a list of hosts?

Thanks

Miwu

Hi @miwu, welcome to the forum.

Take a look at this thread. Maybe it can help you out.

Web-API : can we make a bulk discovery with the APi on a folder?

Hello all , I am wondering if it is possible to perform a bulk discovery on folder via the check_mk api We have have the functionnality actually https://checkmk.com/cms_web_api_references.html#discover_services but it is just for single host which doesn’t fit my needs ,. I don’t want to call the get_all_host api first then make loop inside it to discover one by one the services on each host. Kr , Andry

Unfortunaly, Web-API works only for the site you called. It is not possible to discover hosts monitored on a slave site from the master site using web-api.

You have other functions inside API that you can call to accomplish that.
get_host to get the site parameter
get_site for the site you got from get_host function…
You can build the slave api address and have a global automation user to do the magic.

Just a weekend mode idea.

Cheers,
