## <a id="external-commands"></a> External Commands
|
|
|
|
Icinga 2 provides an external command pipe for processing commands
|
|
triggering specific actions (for example rescheduling a service check
|
|
through the web interface).
|
|
|
|
In order to enable the `ExternalCommandListener` configuration use the
|
|
following command and restart Icinga 2 afterwards:
|
|
|
|
# icinga2-enable-feature command
|
|
|
|
Icinga 2 creates the command pipe file as `/var/run/icinga2/cmd/icinga2.cmd`
|
|
using the default configuration.
|
|
|
|
Web interfaces and other Icinga addons are able to send commands to
|
|
Icinga 2 through the external command pipe, for example for rescheduling
|
|
a forced service check:
|
|
|
|
# /bin/echo "[`date +%s`] SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;localhost;ping4;`date +%s`" >> /var/run/icinga2/cmd/icinga2.cmd
|
|
|
|
# tail -f /var/log/messages
|
|
|
|
Oct 17 15:01:25 icinga-server icinga2: Executing external command: [1382014885] SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;localhost;ping4;1382014885
|
|
Oct 17 15:01:25 icinga-server icinga2: Rescheduling next check for service 'ping4'
|
|
|
|
By default the command pipe file is owned by the group `icingacmd` with read/write
|
|
permissions. Add your webserver's user to the group `icingacmd` to
|
|
enable sending commands to Icinga 2 through your web interface:
|
|
|
|
# usermod -G -a icingacmd www-data
|
|
|
|
Debian packages use `nagios` as the default user and group name. Therefore change `icingacmd` to
|
|
`nagios`.
