DESCRIPTION

Module used to integrate with the REST API that Icinga2 provides.

CONSTRUCTOR

new (FQDN, PORT, PATH, VERSION, INSECURE)

new (FQDN, PORT, PATH, VERSION, [ INSECURE ])

Monitoring::Icinga2::Client::REST object.

The former calling convention with four mandatory arguments is the old one. If a port number is present after the Icinga host, the constructor assumes you want this form. The arguments are:

• FQDN is your Icinga monitoring host.

• PORT is the port the REST API runs on.

• PATH is the URI where to find the API, usually "/".

• VERSION should be set to the API version, usually 1.

• INSECURE is optional and makes this module skip certificate verification if set.

The latter form treats only the FQDN as mandatory and allows all other arguments to be passed hash style with the following keys:

• port see above; defaults to 5665.

• path see above; defaults to /.

• version see above; defaults to 1 and is therefore completely redundant as long as there is only one API version.

• insecure see above; defaults to false

• cacert The file name of a PEM-format file containing the certificate of the CA that issued the server's HTTPS certificate. As internal monitoring servers often use certs from in-house CAs, this still allows for secure peer identification instead of using insecure mode.

METHODS

login (USERNAME, PASSWORD)

Configures and validates credentials. Please note that user needs at least the permission "status/query". This methos does nothing if it has been called on the sameobject before unless "logout" was called before.

logout

Destroys the login session.

login_status

Returns a human readable login status of the current session.

logged_in

Returns true when logged in, otherwise returns undef.

do_request (HTTP METHOD, URI, PARAMS, DATA)

Performs the actual request.

"PARAMS" is optional and can be any parameters that the Icinga API supports.

"DATA" is optional and is a Perl data structure that will be converted to JSON.

Returns the result in a perl reference.

export (FULL, API_ONLY)

Returns a Perl Data structure without unneccessary meta data. $icinga->export can only be called after do_request. The name of the object is stored in $object->{attrs}{vars}{__export_name} so that you can access if you need it, please note that you can't use this variable name for other things if you whis to use this library as it will be overwritten in the exported object.

"FULL" is optional and if it is true, write once attributes will be included in the export. Objects exported with FULL set to true can be converted to json and be used for PUT requests, but not neccessarily for POST requests.

"API_ONLY" is optional and if it is true only objects created via the API will be exported.

request_code

Returns the last HTTP status code.

request_status_line

Returns the last HTTP status line.
