Rest API (v1)

Overview

This documentation is for developers familiar with HTTP requests and JSON. It explains various API operations, related requests and responses structure, and error codes. If you are not familiar with the JSON API, we recommend you to use the Centreon command line API documentation.

Permissions

To perform API calls using a specific Centreon user, you need permissions to do so.

There are two types of permission:

You can give access to the configuration for a specific Centreon user. To do so you have to edit user settings on the menu Configuration > Users > Contacts/Users, edit user and on second tab check box Reach API Configuration.

You can give access to the realtime for a specific Centreon user. To do so you have to edit user settings on the menu Configuration > Users > Contacts/Users, edit user and on second tab check box Reach API Realtime.

If you want both then check both checkboxes

Authentication

Using POST method and the URL below:

api.domain.tld/centreon/api/index.php?action=authenticate

Body form-data:

Parameter	Type	Value
username	Text	The user name you use to login on Centreon
password	Text	Your Centreon password

The response is a json flow getting back the authentication token :

{
    "authToken": "NTc1MDU3MGE3M2JiODIuMjA4OTA2OTc="
}

This token will be used later on the other API actions.

Error codes

Code	Message
200	Successful
400	Missing parameter / Missing name parameter / Unknown parameter / Objects are not linked
401	Unauthorized
404	Object not found / Method not implemented into Centreon API
409	Object already exists / Name is already in use / Objects already linked
500	Internal server error (custom message)

Configuration

Getting started

Most of the actions available (about 95%) in the command line API is available in the rest API.

Here is an example for listing hosts using rest API.

Using POST method and the URL below:

api.domain.tld/centreon/api/index.php?action=action&object=centreon_clapi

Header:

Key	Value
Content-Type	application/json
centreon-auth-token	The value of authToken you got on the authentication response

Body:

{
    "action": "show",
    "object": "HOST"
}

• The key action corresponds to the option -a in Centreon CLAPI, the value show corresponds to the -a option value.
• The key object corresponds to the option -o in Centreon CLAPI, the value HOST corresponds to the -o option value.

The equivalent action using Centreon CLAPI is:

centreon -u admin -p centreon -o HOST -a show

Response: The response is a json flow listing all hosts and formated as below:

{
    "result": [
        {
            "id": "12",
            "name": "mail-uranus-frontend",
            "alias": "mail-uranus-frontend",
            "address": "mail-uranus-frontend",
            "activate": "1"
        },
        {
            "id": "13",
            "name": "mail-neptune-frontend",
            "alias": "mail-neptune-frontend",
            "address": "mail-neptune-frontend",
            "activate": "1"
        },
        {
            "id": "14",
            "name": "srvi-mysql01",
            "alias": "srvi-mysql01",
            "address": "srvi-mysql01",
            "activate": "1"
        }
    ]
}

Some actions need the values key (the option -v in Centreon CLAPI). Depending on the called action, the body can contain values key. We will see that in detail later.

API Calls

All API calls you can do on objects are described below. Note that you need to be authenticate before each call.

API calls on the Host object are fully-detailed below. For the next objects, only the actions available are listed, so just follow the same approach as for the host object for an API call.
