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's CLI using the
centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by
running the following command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_azure_network_vpngateway_api.pl \
--plugin=cloud::azure::network::vpngateway::plugin \
--mode=health \
--custommode='api' \
--resource='' \
--resource-group='' \
--subscription='' \
--tenant='' \
--client-id='' \
--client-secret='' \
--proxyurl='' \
--ok-status='%\{status\} =~ /^Available$/' \
--warning-status='' \
--critical-status='%\{status\} =~ /^Unavailable$/' \
--unknown-status='%\{status\} =~ /^Unknown$/' \
--api-version=2017-07-01\
The expected command output is shown below:
OK: VPN Gateway '%s' Provisioning State '%s' [Gateway type: '%s'] [VPN type: '%s'] |
All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the
--help parameter to the command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_azure_network_vpngateway_api.pl \
--plugin=cloud::azure::network::vpngateway::plugin \
--mode=site-traffic \
--help
All available modes can be displayed by adding the --list-mode parameter to
the command:
/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_azure_network_vpngateway_api.pl \
--plugin=cloud::azure::network::vpngateway::plugin \
--list-mode
