Globally Disable/Enable Notifications From The Command Line

EnvBroker1 · Post by **EnvBroker1** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 2:00 pm

Looking for two things specifically, through the command line and not the GUI.

1) Is there a command we can run from the command line to "Globally" turn on and off all the notifications? This would be the equivalent of going to the "Monitoring Engine Status" page and clicking "Disable" next to the "Notifications" line.

2) Does anyone know what file and where it is, that contains the variable for having the notifications enabled or disabled?

Our assumption is, there is a variable somewhere that when it's set to 0 notifications are off and when it's set to 1 notifications are on. So that's what we're looking for.

Thanks

We are using Nagios XI 5.2.5 on CentOS 6.7

Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the username and password with your server's IP and a administrator user account below.
Enable Notifications run this.

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=11" "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "username:password"

Disable Notifications run this.

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=12" "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "username:password"

Ran the command and it gave every indication that it was working, but it didn't change the notifications between the on and off states. This is what we saw on our machine. We even did a reboot afterwards, just in case that was needed. What did we miss?

Code: Select all

# curl -d "cmd_mod=2&cmd_typ=11" "http://Server IP/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "Username:password"

Sorry, I posted them backwards. The cmd_typ=11 disables the notification and cmd_typ=12 enables notifications.

Is there a list of cmd_typ value and action pairs?

Yes there is.
