Can't get REST API to work with XPOST

[WillemDH]

Sean,

The good news is that it works with curl XPOST after edting /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/api/includes/utils-api.inc.php as you suggested.

But I'm not getting it to work from Reactor submit HTTP request chain. Not with HTTP, nor with HTTPS.

Code: Select all

INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:24: STEP 1 : ****** BEGIN RUN 39991 ******
INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:24: STEP 1 : Running block in basic mode.
INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:24: STEP 1 : Running success actions.

INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:24: STEP 1 : action (Submit an HTTP request) : (context) : Translated context variable: http://%nagiosxiserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/applyconfig = http://nagiosserver/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/applyconfig
INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:24: STEP 1 : action (Submit an HTTP request) : (context) : Performing POST request to http://nagiosserver/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/applyconfig

INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:25: STEP 1 : action (Submit an HTTP request) : (context) : (Submit an HTTP POST request to 'http://%nagiosxiserver%/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/applyconfig') finished with result (0)
INFO - 2016-01-20 14:41:25: STEP 1 : Run complete (success)

I do get a HTTP statuc ocde of 200 instead of 404, so we are getting closer. I tried different combinations in the Extra GET/POST Params textbox:

Code: Select all

--data "apikey=blablaapikey&pretty=1"

Code: Select all

"apikey=blablaapikey&pretty=1"

Neither of the above is working.

Grtz

I have it working with HTTP but it's not working with HTTPS at the moment, I will finish the rest of it tomorrow and let you know what the solution is.

Ok, it works for me now with both HTTP and HTTPS, here's what I did:

URL:

Code: Select all

https://YOURXISERVER/nagiosxi/api/v1/system/applyconfig

Request Type:

Code: Select all

POST

Extra GET/POST Params:

Code: Select all

apikey=YOURAPIKEY&pretty=1

This works for both HTTP and HTTPS, however, if you are redirecting/forcing SSL on your XI server then you must edit this file:

Code: Select all

/var/www/html/nagiosreactor/application/helpers/reactor_pluggables_helper.php

Around line 169, change this code:

Code: Select all

$ch = curl_init();

To this:

Code: Select all

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

Now it should work.

This sounds weird, as I'm not (yet) forcing HTTPS.

But the good new is that after editing the file with your suggestions, it finally works!

This thread has gone long enough. Please not that the Nagios XI How to configure SSL documentation should be updated with the correct nagiosxi.conf settings. I hope all the changes we did are implemented in the next Nagios Reactor release.

Greetings, thanks and please close this thread. If I would encounter more problems, I'll make a new one.
