"distributable" downtime delete commands?

[Páll Guðjón Sigurðsson]

Thanks a lot Paul,

We have been achieving the same goals with pynag scripts and DEL_SVC_DOWNTIME command.

Is there anyone on the list that might take it into their hands to keep documentation up to date, maybe even write a routine in nagios to ask for every supported external command, so that external scripts know what external commands are supported ?

The pynag team depends on the documentation to generate library functions, but we have found a few glitches in both external commands docs and the nagios.cfg docs. Anyone willing to help us on "getting it right" deserves a beer.

Kind regards,
Pall Sigurdsson

For anyone else who's interested, here are the external command formats for
these new commands. They're very handy for automating downtime deletion since 
downtime IDs are hard to obtain for that purpose. Values in in brackets are 
optional and serve to make filtering more specific:


DEL_DOWNTIME_BY_HOSTGROUP_NAME;<hostgroup_name>;[<host_name>];[<service_desription>];[<start_time>];[<comment>]

DEL_DOWNTIME_BY_HOST_NAME;<host_name>;[<service_desription>];[<start_time>];[<comment>]

DEL_DOWNTIME_BY_START_TIME_COMMENT;<start_time>;[<comment>]

DEL_DOWNTIME_BY_START_TIME_COMMENT;<comment>
