Legacy API
Query Endpoint
Queries are mostly based on modules. You can test-drive them through the API web interface and then add your own calls.
You can use any query available by the check modules.
Note
Some query URL endpoints might not be available. This will be logged and is available in the web interface
Logmenu.Ensure to enable the corresponding module and test-drive the query from the web interface.
This documentation compiles a list of the most common query URL endpoints and their usage examples. Explore and add more from known check commands.
Arguments
Arguments can be passed to the URL as already known from check_nt/check_nrpe command calls.
