Currently the "reinstallation required" flag of the hosts is only displayed in the manager web interface, but it cannot be queried through the API. It is desired to query this flag trough the API so some automated tool can trigger the host reinstallation automatically.
This is a simple frontend alert derived from other properties changes. I would recommend to watch those other properties instead
