Basic usage

All actions in Centreon CLAPI will require authentication, so your commands will always start like this:

# cd /usr/share/centreon/bin
# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon [...]

Obviously, the -u option is for the username and the -p option is for the password. If your passwords are encoded with SHA1 in database, use the -s option:

# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -s [...]
