active xi license from shell command

[elade]

Hi,

There is any way to activate XI license from server shell and not from the GUI?

Hi @elade,

That functionality doesn't exist int the API, and I can submit a feature request on your behalf if you'd like. However, the license keys are stored in the nagiosxi database, and you can query the db for view license keys/update values.

See this post: Get license Key from the command line

For a mysql/mariadb datatabase, run the following command to view the license:

Code: Select all

echo "SELECT value FROM xi_options where name='license_key';" | mysql -u root -pnagiosxi nagiosxi

To change the license key values, run the following command:

Code: Select all

echo "UPDATE xi_options SET value='###licensekey###' where name='license_key';" | mysql -u root -pnagiosxi nagiosxi

Hi benjaminsmith,

I would like to add this as feature request.

You can close the topic.

Hi @elade,

Update. Turns out that if you're running a recent version of Nagios XI, you can do this from the command line from the following script:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/mod_license.php --help
