Pandora FMS Command Line Interface (CLI)

Pandora FMS CLI

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

/usr/share/pandora_server/util/pandora_manage.pl

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.

Community version:

The CLI is a file in Perl language, to call CLI:

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

With backslash \ as a line connector:

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

Enterprise version:

If you are an Enterprise customer, you will need to use the binary executable instead of the .pl, since there are some enterprise features that may not work properly with the .pl. Just run pandora_manage to get started.

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 examples shown here, unless implicitly stated otherwise, refer to the Enterprise version ( pandora_manage ).

Syntax

  • All parameters, required or optional, can be delimited with single quotation marks.
  • Quotation marks are especially useful when a parameter has spaces, e.g. 'My Agent'.
  • Also if you need to omit some required parameter you can use two single quotes together. If strictly necessary, an [ERROR] Error: message will be displayed followed by a description of the error. In the case of optional parameters, if there are several and you need to specify only the second and/or third and/or etcetera, use two single quotation marks together to indicate the 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.

Help

To obtain general help with the Pandora FMS CLI use:

pandora_manage --h

To obtain help about one specific option just write option without parameters; for example for create an user:

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

Agents

create_agent

Required parameters (syntax):

  • < agent name > Returns error if the name exists (see < alias as name >).
  • < operating system >
  • < group name > Must match an existing OS (case insensitive) otherwise it will be registered without any group.
  • < 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.
  • < 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):

The default values are 0 for the minimum and maximum values, history_data and post_process; 300 for interval.

Example (see call and syntax):

Simple example for state scaling:

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_data_module data_module_test generic_data 3f9c41953a072afa229aa0a7fe3a6203a1ecf86b40b8a13d8a7d9916f0210bb1 "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" 2001

Complex example, the module definition file will contain something like this:

module_begin
module_name My module
module_type generic_data
module_exec cat /proc/meminfo  | grep MemFree | awk '{ print $2 }'
module_end
pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_data_module 'My module' generic_data 'My agent' 'Module description' 'General' 1 3 0 300 0 0 0 0 1 /home/user/definition_file 'warning text' 'critical text'

If you introduce a different name or kind between the parameters and the file definition, the fixed on the file will have priority.

For it to be carried out correctly, the API configuration parameters will need to be filled in pandora_server.conf (configuration file elements) : console_api_pass , console_pass , console_user y console_api_url .

Create_synthetic

Parameters: <module_name> <synthetic_type> <agent_name> <opts> <use_agent_alias>

Where <synthetic_type> can be “arithmetic” or “average”.

Examples

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_synthetic example_module arithmetic example_agent <opts>
pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_synthetic example_module average example_agent <opts>

Let's explain all the posible parameters that can be used on the <opts»

  • <opts> = <source_agent1>,<operator>,<source_module1> <source_agent2>,<operator>,<source_module2>
  • <opts> = <source_agent1>,<operator>,<source_module1> <operator>,<fixed_value>

Examples

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_synthetic example_module arithmetic example_agent my_agent,+,my_module my_agent2,-,my_module2
pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_synthetic example_module arithmetic example_agent my_agent,+,my_module *,10
pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_synthetic example_module average example_agent my_agent,x,my_module my_agent,x,my_module2

On the first example, we will create in the agent example_agent an arithmetic type of module named example_module. Its content will be the result of the operation: my_module - my_module2. On the second example, we will create in the agent example_agent an arithmetic type of module named example_module. Its content will be the result of the operation: my_module * 10. On the third example, we will create in the agent example_agent an average type of module named example_module. Its content will be the average value betwee my_module and my_module2.

The first operator that is used, on the previous case between my_agent and my_module (+), is ignored and doesn't affect to the result of the operations, but it is needed due to the internal structure of the tool. It's very important to keep into account that the arithmetic operation will be done with the next (in this case, the second) operator, on the current example, between my_agent2 and my_module2, or right before the value 10 (in this case, operators “-” or “*”). The possible operators are:

  • + sum
  • - substraction
  • * multiplication
  • / division
  • x average. This operator only can be used with the average type.

Note:

Available in Pandora 5.1 SP4 and above

Example:

pandora_manage /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf –create_synthetic memory_sum arithmetic nodo51sp3 production1,+,AvailableMemory production2,+,AvailableMemory

Visual Consoles

create_visual_console

Parameters: <name> <background> <width> <height> <group> <mode> [<position_to_locate_elemens|<background_color> <elements>]]

Description: A visual console will be created with the specified parameters and their associated elements. It is absolutely necessary that the JSONs go in single quotes because if they don't, there could be errors in the shell from which the script is launched.

“Interesting data:” The mode can adopt the values'static_objects' and'auto_creation', in the first way the elements will be created without taking into account the position where to place the elements, but the position described in the elements json itself will be used. However, if the mode is 'auto_creation' a coordinate tapestry ('position_to_locate_elements' field with the format described in the example below) must be set and the algorithm will automatically establish the position and size of each of the elements.

Example (auto_creation):

perl pandora_manage.pl /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf --create_visual_console 'test console' 'mapamundo.jpg' 1024 768 12 'auto_creation' '{"pos1x":0,"pos1y":60,"pos2x":800,"pos2y":600}' '#FFF' '[{"image": "_engine","height": 0,"width": 0,"label": "","type": 0,"period": 300,"id_agent": 1,"id_agente_modulo": 0,"id_group": 0,"id_layout_linked": 0,"parent_item": 0,"enable_link": 1,"id_metaconsole": 0,"id_custom_graph": 0,"border_width": 0,"border_color": "","fill_color": "","type_graph": "area","label_position": "down"},{"image": "_printer","height": 0,"width": 0,"label": "","type": 0,"period": 300,"id_agent": 2,"id_agente_modulo": 0,"id_group": 0,"id_layout_linked": 0,"parent_item": 0,"enable_link": 1,"id_metaconsole": 0,"id_custom_graph": 0,"border_width": 0,"border_color": "","fill_color": "","type_graph": "area","label_position": "down"}]'
