• /auth/1.0/authorize
• /monitoring/1.0/jobs/status

For previous VTOM version, please use legacy Plugin mode.

Setup

Online License

1. Install the Centreon package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor VTOM Rest API resources:

yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Vtom-Restapi

2. On the Centreon Web interface, install the VTOM Rest API Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connectors Manager page.

Offline License

1. Install the Centreon package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor VTOM Rest API resources:

yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Vtom-Restapi

2. Install the VTOM Rest API Centreon Pack RPM on the Centreon Central server:

yum install centreon-pack-applications-vtom-restapi

3. On the Centreon Web interface, install the VTOM Rest API Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connectors Manager page.

Configuration

Host

• Log into Centreon and add a new Host through Configuration > Hosts
• Fill the Name, Alias & IP Address / DNS fields according to your VTOM Rest API server settings
• Select the App-Vtom-Restapi-custom template to apply to the Host

Once the template is applied, some Macros have to be configured:

Mandatory	Name	Description
X	VTOMCUSTOMMODE	Access mode for the Plugin (default: 'api'. Can be: 'legacy')
X	VTOMAPIPORT	Port used (Default: 30002)
X	VTOMAPIPROTO	Specify http if needed (default: 'https')
X	VTOMAPITOKEN	Api token
X	VTOMAPIUSERNAME	Api username
X	VTOMAPIPASSWORD	Api password
	VTOMAPIEXTRAOPTIONS	Any extra option you may want to add to the command (eg. a --verbose flag)

How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon Poller CLI using the centreon-engine user account and test the Plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vtom_restapi.pl \
    --plugin=apps::vtom::restapi::plugin \
    --mode=jobs \
    --hostname='10.0.0.1' \
    --api-username='my-username' \
    --api-password='my-password' \
    --filter-application='' \
    --filter-environment='' \
    --filter-name='' \
    --verbose

The expected command output is shown below:
