Command Line API (v1) - CLAPI
Overviewβ
Centreon CLAPI aims to offer (almost) all the features that are available on the user interface in terms of configuration. Only administrators can use CLAPI.
Featuresβ
- Add/Delete/Update objects such as hosts, services, host templates, host groups, contacts etc.
- Generate configuration files
- Test configuration files
- Move configuration files to monitoring pollers
- Restart monitoring pollers
- Import and export objects.
Basic usageβ
All actions in Centreon CLAPI will require authentication, so your commands will always start like this:
centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' [...]
The -u option is for the username and the -p option is for the password. The password can be in plain text or encrypted in the database.
NOTE: If your passwords are encoded with SHA1 in the database (MD5 by default), use the -s option:
centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -s [...]
Objectsβ
ACLβ
Object name: ACL
Reloadβ
To reload ACLs, use the RELOAD command:
centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -o ACL -a reload
Lastreloadβ
To check when the ACLs were last reloaded, use the LASTRELOAD command:
centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -o ACL -a lastreload
1329833702
If you wish to get a human readable time format instead of a timestamp, use the following command:
centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -o ACL -a lastreload -v "d-m-Y H:i:s"
