REST API

new in release v2.24

Thruk offers a rest api to expose various aspects of Thruk itself and livestatus information.

The api can be either accessed by http(s) at http://your_webserver/thruk/r/ or by cli client:

  %> thruk r /hostgroups

Versions

Right now, there is only version 1 of the rest api, so you can either use the generic url http://your_webserver/thruk/r/ or the version specific http://your_webserver/thruk/r/v1/.

Authentication

Basic Auth

Basic authentication is possible with the rest API but not recommended. Use API keys instead. This is a limitation of the apache configuration which cannot set the remote user if supplied, but pass through the request if not.

  %> curl -gk 'https://username:password@localhost/thruk/r/hosts'

Cookies from the cookie authentication are valid as well if you are logged in already and will return the results with permissions of the current user.

API Key

The web rest api accepts the api key as http header. You can create API keys from the user profile page if api_keys_enabled is enabled in your thruk config or with the rest api itself using the /thruk/api_keys endpoint.

  %> curl -H 'X-Thruk-Auth-Key: apikey' \
          -gk 'https://localhost/thruk/r/hosts'

Superuser API Key

A superuser API key (previously named system api key) can be created by admins and is not bound to a specific user. Instead you can set a username with the X-Thruk-Auth-User HTTP header. This makes superuser api keys very powerful and they should be handled with the same care as the secret key. A superuser key can still be restricted to certain roles.

  %> curl -H 'X-Thruk-Auth-Key: apikey' \
          -H 'X-Thruk-Auth-User: automation' \
          -d 'comment=test' \
          -gk 'https://localhost/thruk/r/hosts/localhost/cmd/schedule_host_downtime'

Secret Key

The web rest api accepts the secret key as http header. The secret key is usually found in /var/lib/thruk/secret.key or var/thruk/secret.key when using OMD.

  %> curl -H 'X-Thruk-Auth-Key: secretkey' \
          -H 'X-Thruk-Auth-User: thrukadmin' \
          -gk 'https://localhost/thruk/r/hosts'

Since the secretkey gives you superadminpower. You can set the context of the result to any user you like with the X-Thruk-Auth-User HTTP header.

Command Line

When using the cli clients, use the -A option like:

  %> thruk -A user r /

Having command line access gives you superadminpower as well, so you can set the user context to any user you need with the -A switch.

Parameters

You can pass parameters mostly along with POST and PATCH requests. When using the cli tool, you can utilize the -d parameter with key/value pairs or with json data. Or you can mix those options.

use key/value pairs:

  %> thruk r -m PATCH -d max_check_attempts=3 -d first_notification_delay=10 /hosts/localhost/config

use json structure:

  %> thruk r -m PATCH -d "{'max_check_attempts':3, 'first_notification_delay':10}" /hosts/localhost/config

Using curl, you can set parameters like this:

  %> curl -d "alias=test" -d "max_check_attempts=3" http://your_webserver/thruk/r/hosts/localhost/config

or you can use json data as well:

  %> curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
          --X PATCH \
          --data '{"max_check_attempts":3, "first_notification=delay":10}' \
          http://your_webserver/thruk/r/hosts/localhost/config

Filtering

All pages offer filtering using query parameters:

  %> thruk r '/hosts?name=localhost'

Other operators besides equals like regular expressions are possible with the bracket syntax:

ex.: return all hosts starting with literal m:

  %> thruk r '/hosts?name[regex]=^m'

ex.: list all services which are currently in a downtime:

  %> thruk r '/services?scheduled_downtime_depth[gte]=1'

Curl requires you to set the globoff option:

  %> curl -gk 'https://user:pass@localhost/thruk/r/hosts?name[regex]=^t'

ex.: numeric filter using the operators <, >, >= or <= will be expanded like described in relative timestamps.

list session which had been active within the last 10minutes

  %> thruk r '/thruk/sessions?columns=username,max(active)&active[gte]=-10m'

Possible operators with their alias:

Operator Alias Description

=

eq

Equal match

!=

ne

Not equal match

~

Regular expression match (case-sensitive)

!~

Negated regular expression match (case-sensitive)

~~

regex

Regular expression match (case-insensitive)

!~~

nregex

Negated regular expression match (case-insensitive)

>

gt

Greater than numeric comparisson

<

lt

Lower than numeric comparisson

>=

gte

Greater or equal numeric comparisson. contains in list context

<=

lte

Lower or equal numeric comparisson. contains not in list context

!>=

notin

contains not in list context

You can use the alias name to workaround urlencoding issues.

Complex Filtering

Complex filtering logic is possible by using a simple query language which supports logical operators. The query can be passed urlencoded with the q parameter. An alternative to url encoding is using a special quote syntax by encapsulating the query in ***. Everything between *** will be automatically url encoded. (You still need to get quoting right).

  %> thruk r '/hosts?q=***name = "test" or name = "other"***'

Another example, fetch all hosts from hostgroups linux and windows which are not ok.

  %> thruk r '/hosts?q=***(groups >= "linux" or groups >= "windows") and status != 0***'

Example using curl:

  %> curl -d 'q=***name = "test"***' 'http://.../thruk/r/hosts'

If you need * in the query itself, any other three characters will do as well:

  %> thruk r '/notifications?q=///message = "test" or name = "other"///

Lexical filter can use the same time expands as normal filter:

  %> thruk r '/services?q=***last_check <= "-7d"***'

This will translate to a filter, selecting all services having a last_check date lower than now - 7 days. Note the quotes around the value.

Sorting

All pages can sort list results by using the sort parameter. The sort parameter can be used multiple times or use comma-separated lists. The order is ascending unless prefixed with an minus.

ex.: sort by name ascending and status descending:

  %> thruk r /hosts?sort=name,-state

Limits

All pages offer limits and offset through the limit and offset parameter.

The offset starts a 0, so offset=1 strips of the first item and starts the result with the second one. For example show 10 hosts starting with the item 101:

  %> thruk r /hosts?limit=10&offset=100

Columns

All pages offer setting columns with the columns parameter.

ex.: return name and state for all hosts:

  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name,state

Rename columns by appending :name like this:

  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name:host_name,state:status

or by adding as aliasname

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=name:host_name,state as status'

Note: If the column contains special characters, use backticks to enclose the column name, ex.:

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=`Disk C:\`'

or:

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=`Disk C:\` as size'

Performance Data Columns

Thruk will expand performance data into separate columns for host/service queries.

Ex.: a host with the check_icmp check has the performance data put into the coresponding columns, so the following (shorted) json will be returned.

There are 2 columns for each performance value. One with the value itself and one with the unit.

There is also a hash containing the expanded performance values.

Those columns can be used for filtering or to only select specific performance data columns.

  %> thruk r /hosts?limit=1

[
   {
...
      "name" : "icmp checked host",
...
      "perf_data" : "rta=0.030ms;3000.000;5000.000;0; pl=0%;80;100;;",
      "perf_data_expanded" : [
         {
            "crit" : "5000.000",
            "max" : "",
            "min" : "0",
            "name" : "rta",
            "orig" : "rta=0.030ms;3000.000;5000.000;0;",
            "parent" : "",
            "unit" : "ms",
            "value" : "0.030",
            "warn" : "3000.000"
         },
         {
            "crit" : "100",
            "max" : "",
            "min" : "",
            "name" : "pl",
            "orig" : "pl=0%;80;100;;",
            "parent" : "",
            "unit" : "%",
            "value" : "0",
            "warn" : "80"
         }
      ],
      "pl" : "0",
      "pl_unit" : "%",
      "rta" : "0.030",
      "rta_unit" : "ms"
...
   }
]
Filter by performance values

Those columns can also be used for filtering. Ex. get all hosts having packing loss greater zero.

%> thruk r '/hosts?columns=pl,name&pl[gte]=0'

Custom Data Columns

Thruk will expand custom data values into separate columns for host/service queries.

Those columns can be used for filtering or to only select specific custom values.

  %> thruk r '/hosts?limit=1&_WORKER=local'
[
   {
...
      "_THRUK_BP_ID" : "666",
      "_THRUK_NODE_ID" : "node1",
      "_WORKER" : "local",
      "custom_variable_names" : [
         "THRUK_BP_ID",
         "THRUK_NODE_ID",
         "WORKER"
      ],
      "custom_variable_values" : [
         "666",
         "node1",
         "local"
      ],
      "custom_variables" : {
         "THRUK_BP_ID" : "666",
         "THRUK_NODE_ID" : "node1",
         "WORKER" : "local"
      },
...
      "name" : "host with custom variables",
...
   }
]
Host custom variables

Host custom variables are accessible with the _HOST prefix for example like.:

%> thruk r '/services?columns=_HOSTWORKER&description'

Calculations

Simple calculations (+, -, *, /) can be achieved by using those operators in the columns selection.

ex.: sum the number of problems for each host

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=name,num_services_crit+num_services_unknown+num_services_warn as num_services_problems'

Functions

Transformation Functions

Transformation functions can be used to adjust result data.

Available transformations functions are:

  • upper: make column upper case

  • uc: alias for upper

  • lower: make column lower case

  • lc: alias for lower

  • substr: extract substring (substr(columnname, offset [, length]))

  • calc: apply mathematical operation (calc(column, op , value) ex.: calc(last_check, '*', 1000))

  • s: apply regex replacement (s(column, regex, replace) ex.: s(host_name, '/\..*$/', '') Note: you cannot use backreferences like $1 in the replacement string for security reasons.

  • unit: set the unit for this column (unit(column, unit) ex.: unit(calc(rta, "*", 1000), "s")

ex.: return first 3 characters from upper case host name.

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=upper(substr(name, 0, 3)) as host'

Aggregation Functions

Aggregation functions can be used to get statistical information.

Available aggregaton functions are:

  • count: total number of matches

  • avg: calculated average for numerical columns

  • sum: calculated sum for numerical columns

  • min: calculated minimum value for numerical columns

  • max: calculated maximum value for numerical columns

ex.: return average latency over all hosts

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=avg(latency)'

The query can include group by columns without aggregations functions,

ex.: list average execution time over all services grouped by state.

  %> thruk r '/services?columns=avg(execution_time),state&sort=avg(execution_time)'

Rename columns by appending :name

  %> thruk r '/thruk/sessions?columns=count(*):sessions'

Renaming can be combined with grouping columns.

  %> thruk r '/services?columns=avg(execution_time):avg_exec_time,host_name'

The group by column can be renamed as well:

  %> thruk r '/services?columns=avg(execution_time),peer_name:site'

Aggregation functions can be used in filter (alias cannot be used in filter):

  %> thruk r '/services?columns=avg(execution_time):exec_time&avg(execution_time)[gt]=0'

Disaggregation Functions

Disaggregation functions create multiple result rows from a single attribute.

Available disaggregation functions are:

  • to_rows: allocate result rows from list column

  • as_rows: alias for to_rows

  %> thruk r '/hosts?columns=name,to_rows(services) as services'

Of course, this example could be achieved easier but creating a query on the services table, but you get the idea.

Mixing Functions

When mixing aggregation and transformation functions, apply the aggregation function as the outer most function, as for example in:

  %> thruk r '/hosts/localhost?columns=avg(unit(calc(latency,/,1000), "ms"))'

When mixing disaggregation and transformation functions, apply the disaggregation function as the inner most function, as for example in:

  %> thruk r '/hosts/localhost?columns=upper(name),upper(to_rows(services))'

Backends / Sites

If you have multiple sites connected to Thruk, you may want to talk only to specific sites. There are multiple methods to set the backends for your request. You can combine multiple sites with commas.

  • Use a path prefix /sites/<sitename,…​>:

      %> thruk r /sites/test,prod/hosts

  • Use the backends option with the cli client:

      %> thruk r -b test,prod /hosts

  • Set the backends url parameter:

      %> thruk r /hosts?backends=test,prod
All Sites

Thruk uses all backends unless they are configured as hidden=yes. In that case you can force selecting all backends with the /sites/ALL/ prefix.
Local Sites

In case you want to send queries only to local backends (those using a unix socket connection) you can use the /sites/LOCAL/ prefix.

Error Handling

Failed rest requests return a hash result along with a HTTP error code:

  %> thruk r /none
  {
    "code" : 404,
    "message" : "unknown rest path"
    "description" : "optional additional error messages"
  }

Output Formats

JSON

JSON is the default output format.

CSV

CSV output is available via /csv/ path prefix. Column names will be automatically added as first (commented) line. This can be disabled with the headers=0 parameter.

Escaping and nested objects
Support for nested objects and escaping of semicolons is limited. Nested Objects will fallback to json encoding. If possible, use json format which is faster and more reliable. 
  %> thruk r /csv/hosts?columns=name,state
  %> thruk r '/csv/hosts?columns=name,state&headers=0'
  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name,state --csv
  %> curl -g http://localhost/thruk/r/csv/hosts/stats

XLS

Excel output is available via /xls/ path prefix.

  %> thruk r /xls/hosts?columns=name,state
  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name,state --xls

Table

Human readable table output is available via /human/ or /text/ path prefix.

  %> thruk r /human/hosts?columns=name,state
  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name,state --human
  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name,state --text
  %> thruk r /hosts?columns=name,state -t

HTTP Methods

HTTP Methods are implemented according to RFC2616 which is in short:

GET retrieve ressources, ex.: GET /thruk/reports to list all reports.

POST

update/create ressources or trigger actions, ex.: POST /thruk/reports to create a new report.

PUT

overwrite existing ressource, ex.: PUT /thruk/reports/1 to update an entire existing report. Thruk makes no difference between POST and PUT. You can use PUT for all POST urls and vice versa.

PATCH

replace parts of existing ressource, ex.: PATCH /thruk/reports/1 to set specific attributes of an existing report.

DELETE

remove existing ressource, ex.: DELETE /thruk/reports/1 to remove the report entirely.

Object configuration notes

To create brand new object configurations (e.g hosts), you MUST use POST /config/objects as documented further down.

POST /*/<name>/config is only used for overwriting existing objects.

After object configuration changes, use the following sequence of steps (similar to the GUI object config tool):

1) GET /config/diff

a) At this point you can revert the changes by using POST /config/revert

2) POST /config/save

3) POST /config/check

4) POST /config/reload

Make sure to check the output of each step

Endpoints

You can find lots of examples on the REST API examples page.

The complete list of available external commands can be found on the REST API commands page.

See examples and detailed description for all other available rest api urls:

GET /

lists all available rest urls. alias for /index

GET /alerts

lists alerts based on logfiles. alias for /logs?type[~]=^(HOST|SERVICE) ALERT

GET /checks/stats

lists host / service check statistics.
