Setting the REST API Key

Hi.
I want to use the REST api to get and delete objects.
It works great in my testing.
At buildout, we will have hundreds of XI servers so keeping track of the individual api keys is prohibitive.
Is there a way to set the key on each XI?
Thanks,
Rick

Not via the GUI directly, though you can do it in the database directly on a per-user basis:
Code: Select all
echo "UPDATE nagiosxi.xi_users SET api_key='mycoolkey' WHERE username='nagiosadmin';" | mysql -uroot -pnagiosxi
In action:
Code: Select all
[root@xi-stable ~]# curl -XGET "http://192.168.67.1/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/host?apikey=mycoolkey&pretty=1&host_name=localhost"
{
"hostlist": {
"recordcount": "1",
"host": {
"@attributes": {
"id": "143"
},
"instance_id": "1",
"host_name": "localhost",
"is_active": "1",
"config_type": "1",
"alias": "localhost",
"display_name": "localhost",
"address": "127.0.0.1",
"check_interval": "5",
"retry_interval": "1",
"max_check_attempts": "10",
"first_notification_delay": "0",
"notification_interval": "120",
"passive_checks_enabled": "1",
"active_checks_enabled": "1",
"notifications_enabled": "1",
"notes": "",
"notes_url": "",
"action_url": "",
"icon_image": "",
"icon_image_alt": "",
"statusmap_image": ""
}
}
}
