How to schedule a downtime in icinga2 by using icinga-api with groovy? - json

Question

I'm searching for a way to schedule a downtime in icinga2 with a groovy script.
I already tried creating a small groovy script. Tried using the examples from icinga documentation:
curl -u root:icinga -k -s 'https://localhost:5665/v1/actions/schedule-downtime?type=Host&filter=host.vars.os==%22Linux%22' -d '{ "author" : "michi", "comment": "Maintenance.", "start_time": 1441136260, "end_time": 1441137260, "duration": 1000 }' -X POST | python -m json.tool
but adapting this to my script didn't work. Very important are the " around each attribute name, I noted.

Solution was this way:
Using wslite as webservice client. This is the minimal example.
Now I connect to my server with api enabled. The certificate is self signed, why "sslTrustAllCerts" was needed.
I select all services from my host "testserver" and set the downtime (duration in seconds).
#Grab('com.github.groovy-wslite:groovy-wslite:1.1.2')
import wslite.rest.*
import wslite.http.auth.*
def client = new RESTClient("https://myicinga2server:5665/")
client.authorization = new HTTPBasicAuthorization("root", "secret")
def timeFrom = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000L
def timeDurationSec = 600
def timeTo = timeFrom + timeDurationSec
try
{
def response = client.post(
path: '/v1/actions/schedule-downtime?type=Service&filter=host.name==%22testserver%22',
headers: ["Accept": "application/json"],
sslTrustAllCerts: true)
{
json "author":"mstein", "comment":"Test-Downtime", "start_time": timeFrom, "end_time": timeTo, "duration": timeDurationSec, "fixed": true
}
assert 200 == response.statusCode
print response.text
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
println "Error: " + exc.getClass().toString()
println "Message: " + exc.getMessage()
println "Response: " + exc.getResponse()
System.exit(1)
}
That worked for me!
