I can add auth servers via the API easily enough

But I cant add the certificate

Is there any way to do this programmatically?


Also is there a way of setting other admin area settings - like system settings, email setttings, backups etc

It's not currently possible to do that through the API. Does your automation tool have the ability to add files/run commands/restart services at the OS level? If so, what OS/version are you running?

Yeah we can change the config files directly and run commands/restart services

running centos 7.9

You should be able to add the entire CA cert chain in individual pem format files into:
Then run:
If that doesn't work you should be able to put your entire CA certificate chain in pem encoded format in a file in:
I'm using /etc/openldap/certs/ca.pem in the example below.

Then run these commands against it:

yup this worked perfectly, thanks

for the other settings-

We need to check: Allow HTML Tags in Host/Service Status

uncheck: Sticky Acknowledgement

change the "send from" address in mail settings

For backups check the 'Enable Local Backups' checkbox

Set it to run Daily at 18:00 to /store/backups/nagiosxi

Set a backup limit of 5


are all these things also possible by changing the settings in config files?

Those are not currently modifiable like that because you need to be logged in to do it to pull the other information that is submitted with them.
