How to add a host using a shell script

jqrun · January 9, 2020, 5:18am

Ask the experts, I want to use the script to add monitoring hosts in batches, too slow through the directory

Hi,

I would use the Director and his REST-API for that:

Icinga/icingaweb2-module-director/blob/master/doc/70-REST-API.md

<a id="REST-API"></a>The Icinga Director REST API
=================================================

Introduction
------------

Icinga Director has been designed with a REST API in mind. Most URLs you
can access with your browser will also act as valid REST url endpoints.

Base Headers
------------
All your requests MUST have a valid accept header. The only acceptable
variant right now is `application/json`, so please always append a header
as follows to your requests:

    Accept: application/json


Authentication

Or the Director Import/sync function to auto import Hosts from Database/CMDB/vmware/etc.

github.com

Icinga/icingaweb2-module-director/blob/master/doc/70-Import-and-Sync.md

<a id="Import-and-Sync"></a>Import and Synchronization
======================================================

Icinga Director offers very powerful mechanisms when it comes to fetching data
from external data sources.

The following examples should give you a quick idea of what you might want to
use this feature for. Please note that Import Data Sources are implemented as
hooks in Director. This means that it is absolutely possible and probably very
easy to create custom data sources for whatever kind of data you have. And you
do not need to modify the Director source code for this, you can ship your very
own importer in your very own Icinga Web 2 module.

Examples
--------

### Import Servers from MS Active Directory

#### Create a new import source

okay, you are talking about the agent configuration not a standard host. In this case there are still a agent deployment script which is delivered with the director, to get an idea how to do this with a script.

I’am not using the agent on linux a lot, as we use check by ssh. So i have no good solution for you.
