Manually update components from command line?

Post by **eloyd** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 11:13 am

Is there a command line equivalent of "Check for updates" and "Install updates" in the Nagios XI Admin -> Manage Components screen? We have a customer that wants to automate this process and I realized we had no knowledge of a script that did that, outside of the update script from a fresh install.

@eloyd, This is currently not possible. I can submit a feature request on your behalf if you'd like. Otherwise, you can try making a php script and have it require '/usr/local/nagiosxi/basedir/html/admin/components.php', then call the following functions:

do_checkupdates()
followed by
do_configure()

This should work in theory but needs to be tested.

Feature request me, please!

In the meantime, I'm happy to go test....

Code: Select all

<html>
<body>
<data>Find big hammer...</data>
</body>
</html>

@eloyd, Ok, I will submit it!

Can't do it without a session ID, and I'm not ready to start hacking together a session ID from the command line. Maybe there's a way to do it with a valid token Id....

@eloyd, I see. I don't think token is going to work here because it is used just for the API right now. Guess we'll have to wait for Devs to look into this feature request then.

My next attempt will be via scripted curl, but I'm too lazy to program that before I leave for the day.

@eloyd, No problem, let us know how it goes when you get to it!
