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"
