Pandora FMS Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Pandora FMS CLI (Command-Line Interface) is used for making calls in command line on the file pandora_manage.

This method is specially useful to integrate applications of thirds parts with Pandora FMS through automated tasks. Basically, it consists on one call with the parameters formated to do and action such as the creation an elimination of one agent, one module or one user, among other things.

pandora_manage <pandora_server.conf path> <option> <option parameters>  [ optional parameters ]

With backslash \ as a line connector:

pandora_manage \
    <pandora_server.conf path> \
    <option> \
    <option parameters> \
    [ optional parameters ]

• All parameters, mandatory or optional, can be delimited with single quotes. This is especially useful when a parameter has one or more spaces.
• If you need to omit a parameter you can use two single quotes together. In case the parameter is strictly necessary a message like [ERROR] Error: will be displayed followed by a description of the parameter. This is also useful to indicate empty optional parameters.
• Some parameters are case sensitive, others are case insensitive. For example, when creating an agent the name of the PFMS server must be strictly the same, however the name of the primary group to which the agent will belong can be in upper and/or lower case and if there is a match the group will be assigned.
• You can use the alias of an agent, instead of its name itself, by means of the use_alias parameter at the end of the command line.

General help:

pandora_manage --h | more

To obtain help about one specific option just write option without parameters:

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_user

Commands are grouped into the following categories:

• Agents.
• Modules
• Alerts
• Users
• Events
• Policies
• NetFlow®
• Tools
• Graphs
• Clusters
• Visual Consoles

Required parameters (syntax):

• < agent name > Returns error if the name exists (see < alias as name >).
• < operating system > Must match an existing OS (case insensitive) otherwise it will be registered without any OS.
• < agent group name >
• < server name > Be case sensitive, otherwise the value of the field will be left null without any warning. You must verify that the agent has been assigned to a server.

Optional parameters:

• < IP address or URL >
• < description > If you omit the description Created by < server name > will be added (regardless of whether the specified server exists or not).
• < interval > In seconds, default value: 300 (see next point).
• < alias as name > The default value is 1 and with this value the agent alias will be the same as the agent name. If you want the name to be randomly generated, use 0.

Description:

An agent will be created with the specified name, operating system, group and server. Optionally, it can be given an address (IP address or name), a description and an interval in seconds.

Example (see call and syntax):

An agent will be created with a random name and the alias My agent and with the recommended period of 300 seconds.

• agent_name
• address Even if Unique IP token is enabled, do not repeated IP address warning will be received (ISSUE 12992).
• description
• group_name
• interval
• os_name
• disabled (0 to activate, 1 to inactivate, any other value used will have unpredictable results, ISSUE 13096).
• parent_name If the parent agent is changed and the Cascade protection modules token is activated in the child agent, it must be reconfigured in order to execute the cascade effect (ISSUE 13097). The parent agent must also have at least one module registered.
• cascade_protection (0 to activate, 1 to inactivate, any other value used will have unpredictable results, ISSUE 13098).
• icon_path to change the icon that represents the agent in the GIS maps, the possible values are: circle, cross, marker, square_marker, star and triangle.

• custom_id

Example (see call and syntax):

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --update_agent \
    'My Agent' agent_name 'Agent 2'

When changing an agent's IP address note that this command allows repeating IP addresses.

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --update_agent \
    'My Agent' address 192.168.7.47

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --update_agent \
    'My Agent' description 'New note' \
    use_alias

Required parameters (see description for details):

• < visual_console_console_number_id_to_change >
• < name >
• < background_image >
• < width >
• < height >
• < group_name >
• < mode >
• < position_to_locate_elements >
• < background_color >
• < elements >

Optional parameters: None.

Description: Works in conjunction with the export_json_visual_console command and allows you to edit an existing visual console and its elements. This command displays on screen the complete data of a registered visual console which can be copied and pasted to be modified.

After having called edit_visual_console and the numeric identifier of the visual console to be modified, the modified text can be pasted.

Example (see call and syntax):

• Creación de una consola visual sin elementos.

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_visual_console \
 "My Visual Console" \
 "None.png" \
 1024 \
 768 \
 9 \
 "static_objects" \
 "" \
 "#ffffff" \
 '[]'

It will return something like this (note the numeric identifier, in this case 14):

 [*] DB Host is 127.0.0.1
[INFO] Creating visual console 'My Visual Console' 

[INFO] The visual console id is '14' 

[root@pandorafms ~]# 

• Export the code with the command export_json_visual_console, it is important that the last parameter is set to one to obtain the numerical identifiers of each of the elements (although in this case no item is registered).

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --export_json_visual_console "14" "" "1"

It will return something like this (the complete line must be copied below the second informational message [INFO]):

 [*] DB Host is 127.0.0.1
[INFO] Exporting visual console elements with ID '14' 

[INFO] JSON file now contents: 
"My Visual Console" "None.png" 1024 768 9 "static_objects" "" "#ffffff" '[]'

[root@pandorafms ~]# 

• Invoke the command edit_visual_console, a space, the console identifier, visual, another space and paste the code obtained in the previous step. Modify the name (or other element or elements).

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --edit_visual_console \
 "14" \
 "My MODIFIED Visual Console" \
 "None.png" \
 1024 \
 768 \
 9 \
 "static_objects" \
 "" \
 "#ffffff" \
 '[]'

It will return something similar to the following:

 [*] DB Host is 127.0.0.1
[INFO] The visual console with id 14 is updated 

[root@pandorafms ~]# 

It can be confirmed by the PFMS Web Console or by invoking the command export_json_visual_console again.

Required parameter:

• < visual_console_id >

Description: The visual console specified by means of its numerical identifier will be eliminated, in case of specifying a non-existent visual console, an error message will be displayed.

Example (see call and syntax):

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --delete_visual_console "1"

Required parameters:

• < id_item >
• < filter >
• < filter_value >

Description: The elements associated to a visual console will be eliminated following a filter. The available filters are:

• image to delete all items that have an exact image name.
• id_agent to delete all items that have a particular numeric agent identifier.
• id_agente_modulo to delete all items that have a particular numeric module identifier.
• id_group to delete all items belonging to a specific numerical agent group identifier. By default, and unless they have been modified, all the items belong to the All group identified with the value 0, specifying this value will delete most of the elements.
• type_graph to delete all items that have a particular type of graphic. By default, and unless modified, all items are set to area, specifying this value will delete most items.
• type to remove all items by their element type:

• 0 Static image.
• 1 Module Graph.
• 2 Simple value.
• 4 Label.
• 5 Icon.
• 10 Service.
• 11 Group.
• 12 Box.
• 13 Line.
• 14 Event history graph.
• 15 Percentile item.
• 17 Serialized pie graph.
• 18 Bars graph.
• 19 Clock.
• 20 Color cloud.
• 21 Network link.
• 22 Odometer.
• 23 Basic Chart.
