Where to get API Key

Post by timlee »

Hi,

I'm using the wizard to create a monitoring service for Nagios Log Server, but i've been asked to enter an API key. But I don't find it anywhere in Nagios LS. Where can I get it or generate it?

When logged into Log Server, click the users name in the top right corner.
This will display the API Key.
If it is not visible, the API might not be enabled for that user.

In that case:
Admin > General > User Management
Edit the user and enable API Access.
