Get service status via webapi

General
1

hi,
I am wondering if I can get the status of a service via webapi.
I do not see a “get_service” command in the docs.
Goal is to get the current service status with performance data.
Is that possible via the webapi somehow or is the way to go with querying livestatus over tcp/socket?
thanks & best regards
Marco

Hi Marco,

here is a good HowTo but in german:

Hi Bernd,
thank you - already seen that, but my question is if that is also possible via webapi in any way. :thinking:

You have to use the Multisite API for status data, not the WATO API which is for configuration.
The documentation is still buried in the legacy docs: https://checkmk.com/cms_legacy_multisite_automation.html
