[Crash-Fox]

ENHANCEMENT REPORT INFORMATION

Prerequisites

The opened issue, must be code related. GitHub is not meant for support. Feel free to check the CONTRIBUTING section for more details.

Operating System: CentOS 7

Additional environment details (AWS, VirtualBox, physical, etc.): VM

Description

When executing the SHOW method for getting all the HOST against the Centreon API. A few informations are given about hosts:

• Name
• Alias
• Address
• Activate

Steps to Reproduce

1. Execute a SHOW request for the object HOST against the Centreon API

Describe the expected result

This method should be able return more informations about a HOST. With that we will have just one request to have all the informations we want about a HOST:

• Host Template
• Host Group
• Host Macro

Additional Infos

In my company, we have a huge script which take a very long time to execute because it has to do 3 differents queries on the API for getting all the configuration of one HOST. The total execution time takes 3 hours.

It would be great if the SHOW method for the HOST could return more informations (HTPL, HG, MACRO) because I will be able to store all the HOSTS (and there informations) in a CSV file and not requesting too much the Centreon API for all the servers I have (around 7000).
