commands. When you are at the root of your icingaweb installation you can find it under ./config/modules/monitoring/instances.ini. commands. Depending on the config path (default: /etc/icingaweb2) of your icingaweb installation you can find it

You can also make use of the ssh resource for accessing an icinga pipe with key-based authentication, which will give
you the possibility to define the location of the private key for a specific user, let's have a look:
[icinga]
path=/usr/local/icinga/var/rw/icinga.cmd ; the path on the remote machine where the icinga.cmd can be found
host=my.remote.machine.com ; the hostname or address of the remote machine
port=22 ; the port to use (22 if none is given)
resource=ssh ; the ssh resource which contains the username and the location of the private key
And the associated ssh resource:
[ssh]
type = "ssh"
user = "ssh-user"
identity_key = "/etc/icingaweb2/ssh/ssh-user"
