Description

This module permit to register a host to centreon (https://www.centreon.com) server by using REST API. The main idea is when a I deploy a new host with puppet, I want to automatically add this host to monitoring with a host template of your choice.

Setup

What centreon_register affects

For Linux OS this module deploy a bash script into /usr/local/centreon_register by default, and install curl if not present. This script use curl in order to modify centreon server configuration.

The host need access to the Centreon server via http or https.

On windows OS, the idea is the same, the module will deploy a powershell script into c:/centreon_register/ and install curl with chocolatey.

If you change script_path_linux or script_path_windows puppet will create the last folder. So make sure path exist.

Beginning with centreon_register

Simply declare the class like this and specify mandatory option to reach centreon server :

class centreon_register {
  centreon_webapi_host    => 'http://centreon.domain.fr',
  centreon_login          => 'admin',
  centreon_admin_password => 'password',
}

Usage

With Hiera :

centreon_register::centreon_webapi_host: 'http://centreon.domain.local'
centreon_register::centreon_admin_password: 'password'
centreon_register::script_path_linux: '/var/tmp'
centreon_register::host_template: 'debian'

Or :

class centreon_register {
  centreon_webapi_host    => 'http://centreon.domain.fr',
  centreon_login          => 'admin',
  centreon_admin_password => 'password',
  script_path_linux       => '/var/tmp',
  host_template           => 'debian',
}

For Windows :

class centreon_register {
  centreon_webapi_host    => 'http://centreon.domain.fr',
  centreon_login          => 'admin',
  centreon_admin_password => 'password',
  script_path_windows     => 'c:/centreon_register',
  host_template           => 'windows',
}

For using curl with insecure mode :

class centreon_register {
  curl_opts_linux    => '-k',
  curl_opts_windows => '-k',
}

## Limitations

Currently the script centreon_register.sh car only create a host with some parameters : hostname, alias, IP, host template, Poller, One custom macro.
Has been tested with :
 * Debian 9,
 * Redhat 7 
 * Windows 2012
 
 Should be working on any OS with curl.
