Command Line API (v1) - CLAPI

Overview

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.

Features

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 usage

All actions in Centreon CLAPI will require authentication, so your commands will always start like this:

Obviously, the -u option is for the username and the -p option is for the password. The password can be in clear or the encrypted in the database.

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -s [...]

Move monitoring engine configuration files

In order to move configuration files for poller "Local Poller" of id 1 to the final engine directory, use the CFGMOVE command:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a CFGMOVE -v 2
OK: All configuration will be send to 'Remote Poller' by centcore in several minutes.
Return code end : 1

You can move the configuration files using the poller name:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a CFGMOVE -v "Remote Poller"
OK: All configuration will be send to 'Remote Poller' by centcore in several minutes.
Return code end : 1

Restart monitoring engine of a poller

In order to restart the monitoring process on poller "Local Poller" of id 1, use the the POLLERRESTART command:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a POLLERRESTART -v 2
OK: A restart signal has been sent to 'Remote Poller'
Return code end : 1

You can restart the poller using its name:

centreon -u Remote Poller -p 'centreon' -a POLLERRESTART -v "Remote Poller"
OK: A restart signal has been sent to 'Remote Poller'
Return code end : 1

All in one command

Use the APPLYCFG command in order to execute all of the above with one single command:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a APPLYCFG -v 1

You can execute using the poller name:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a APPLYCFG -v "Remote Poller"

This will execute POLLERGENERATE, POLLERTEST, CFGMOVE and POLLERRELOAD.

Reload monitoring engine of a poller

In order to reload the monitoring process on poller "Remote Poller" of id 2, use the POLLERRELOAD command:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a POLLERRELOAD -v 2
OK: A reload signal has been sent to Remote Pollerpoller'
Return code end : 1

You can reload poller using its name:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a POLLERRELOAD -v "Remote Poller"
OK: A reload signal has been sent to 'Remote Poller'
Return code end : 1

Execute post generation commands of a poller

In order to execute post generation commands of a poller, use the POLLEREXECCMD command:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a POLLEREXECCMD -v 2
Running configuration check...done.
Reloading nagios configuration...done

You can execute post generation commands of a poller using its name:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -a POLLEREXECCMD -v "Remote Poller"
Running configuration check...done.
Reloading nagios configuration...done

Import/Export

Export

At some point, you might need to export all of the object configuration parameters into a plain text file, either for synchronizing or backuping purpose.

The following items will not be exported:

Escalation
ACL (ACL Groups, ACL Resources, ACL actions)
LDAP settings
Global Centreon settings

This export feature is ran like this:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -e > /tmp/clapi-export.txt

This will generate CLAPI commands and redirect them to the /tmp/clapi-export.txt file.

This file can now be read by the import command.

With this, you can also build your own CLAPI command file if you know the straight forward syntax.

For instance:

HOST;ADD;Host-Test1;Test host;127.0.0.1;generic-host;Local Poller;Linux
HOST;ADD;Host-Test2;Test host;127.0.0.1;generic-host;Local Poller;Linux
HOST;ADD;Host-Test3;Test host;127.0.0.1;generic-host;Local Poller;Linux
HOST;ADD;Host-Test4;Test host;127.0.0.1;generic-host;Local Poller;Linux
HOST;ADD;Host-Test5;Test host;127.0.0.1;generic-host;Local Poller;Linux

Export of a subset of objects

You can choose to export only predefined hosts or services.

For example, to export all services linked to "srv-mssql-01" host you have to execute following command:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -e --select='HOST;srv-mssql-01' --filter-type='^(HOST|SERVICE)$'

To export "memory" and "mssql-listener" services execute following command:

centreon -e --select='SERVICE;memory' --select='SERVICE;mssql-listener' --filter-type='^SERVICE$'

To export all commands run:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -o CMD -a show | awk -F\; 'NR > 2 { print "--select=\"CMD;" $2 "\"" }' | xargs --verbose php ./centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -e

Import

You can import configuration from the exported file /tmp/clapi-export:

centreon -u admin -p 'centreon' -i /tmp/clapi-export.txt

In case you have a very large export file, it is advised to redirect the output of the above command to a file. Indeed, when errors occur during the import process, CLAPI will print out an error message along with the line number of the file, you might need to store those output message for troubleshooting later on.

Empty or commented lines (beginning with #) will be ignored.

You can build your own CLAPI command file if you know the straight forward syntax. You can use parameter described in Object Management with the syntax you can see in export files :

OBJECT;AACTION;Parameter1;Parameter2;Parameter3;...
