 for hosts and services, you can use the following query URL (similar example
 for downtimes):
 
-   https://localhost:5665/v1/objects/comments?joins=host&joins=service
+    https://localhost:5665/v1/objects/comments?joins=host&joins=service

 and no downtime or acknowledgement set). We're using [X-HTTP-Method-Override](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api-requests-method-override)
 here because we want to pass all query attributes in the request body.
