## Icinga 2 CLI Bash Autocompletion <a id="cli-commands-autocompletion"></a>
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
- # yum install bash-completion
+```
+# yum install bash-completion
+```
SUSE:
- # zypper install bash-completion
+```
+# zypper install bash-completion
+```
Debian/Ubuntu:
- # apt-get install bash-completion
+```
+# apt-get install bash-completion
+```
Ensure that the `bash-completion.d` directory is added to your shell
environment. You can manually source the icinga2 bash-completion file
into your current session and test it:
- # source /etc/bash-completion.d/icinga2
+```
+# source /etc/bash-completion.d/icinga2
+```
## Icinga 2 CLI Global Options <a id="cli-commands-global-options"></a>
checked. You can do this by putting your configuration file name in angle
brackets like this:
- include <test.conf>
+```
+include <test.conf>
+```
This causes Icinga 2 to search its include path for the configuration file
`test.conf`. By default the installation path for the [Icinga Template Library](10-icinga-template-library.md#icinga-template-library)
Using the `--include` command-line option additional search directories can be
added.
+## CLI command: Api <a id="cli-command-api"></a>
+
+Provides the setup CLI command to enable the REST API. More details
+in the [Icinga 2 API](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api-setup) chapter.

## CLI command: Console <a id="cli-command-console"></a>
The CLI command `console` can be used to debug and evaluate Icinga 2 config expressions,
e.g. to test [functions](17-language-reference.md#functions) in your local sandbox.
- $ icinga2 console
- Icinga 2 (version: v2.6.0)
- <1> => function test(name) {
- <1> .. log("Hello " + name)
- <1> .. }
- null
- <2> => test("World")
- information/config: Hello World
- null
- <3> =>
+```
+$ icinga2 console
+Icinga 2 (version: v2.8.0)
+<1> => function test(name) {
+<1> .. log("Hello " + name)
+<1> .. }
+null
+<2> => test("World")
+information/config: Hello World
+null
+<3> =>
+```
Further usage examples can be found in the [library reference](18-library-reference.md#library-reference) chapter.
+```
+# icinga2 console --help

On operating systems without the `libedit` library installed there is no
support for line-editing or a command history. However you can
use the `rlwrap` program if you require those features:
- $ rlwrap icinga2 console
+```
+$ rlwrap icinga2 console
+```
The debug console can be used to connect to a running Icinga 2 instance using
the [REST API](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api). [API permissions](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api-permissions)
Here's an example:
- $ ICINGA2_API_PASSWORD=icinga icinga2 console --connect 'https://root@localhost:5665/'
- Icinga 2 (version: v2.6.0)
- <1> =>
+```
+$ ICINGA2_API_PASSWORD=icinga icinga2 console --connect 'https://root@localhost:5665/'
+Icinga 2 (version: v2.8.0)
+<1> =>
+```
Once connected you can inspect variables and execute other expressions by entering them at the prompt:
- <1> => var h = get_host("example.localdomain")
- null
- <2> => h.last_check_result
- {
- active = true
- check_source = "example.localdomain"
- command = [ "/usr/local/sbin/check_ping", "-H", "127.0.0.1", "-c", "5000,100%", "-w", "3000,80%" ]

+<3> =>

You can use the `--eval` parameter to evaluate a single expression in batch mode.
Using the `--file` option you can specify a file which should be evaluated.
to check a script for syntax errors. In this mode the script is parsed to identify
syntax errors but not evaluated.
-Here's an example that retrieves the command that was used by Icinga to check the `example.localdomain` host:
-
- $ ICINGA2_API_PASSWORD=icinga icinga2 console --connect 'https://root@localhost:5665/' --eval 'get_host("example.localdomain").last_check_result.command' | python -m json.tool

- "127.0.0.1",
- "-c",
- "5000,100%",
- "-w",
- "3000,80%"
- ]

## Enabling/Disabling Features <a id="enable-features"></a>
You can view a list of enabled and disabled features:
- # icinga2 feature list
- Disabled features: api command compatlog debuglog graphite icingastatus ido-mysql ido-pgsql livestatus notification perfdata statusdata syslog
- Enabled features: checker mainlog notification
+```
+# icinga2 feature list
+Disabled features: api command compatlog debuglog graphite icingastatus ido-mysql ido-pgsql livestatus notification perfdata statusdata syslog
+Enabled features: checker mainlog notification
+```
Using the `icinga2 feature enable` command you can enable features:
- # icinga2 feature enable graphite
- Enabling feature graphite. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
-
+```
+# icinga2 feature enable graphite
+Enabling feature graphite. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
+```
You can disable features using the `icinga2 feature disable` command:
- # icinga2 feature disable ido-mysql livestatus
- Disabling feature ido-mysql. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
- Disabling feature livestatus. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
-
+```
+# icinga2 feature disable ido-mysql livestatus
+Disabling feature ido-mysql. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
+Disabling feature livestatus. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
+```
The `icinga2 feature enable` and `icinga2 feature disable` commands do not
restart Icinga 2. You will need to restart Icinga 2 using the init script
The following example creates an apply rule without any `assign` condition.
- apply Service "5872-ping4" {
- import "generic-service"
- check_command = "ping4"
- //assign where match("5872-*", host.name)
- }
-
-Validate the configuration with the init script option `checkconfig`:
-
- # /etc/init.d/icinga2 checkconfig
+```
+apply Service "my-ping4" {
+ import "generic-service"
+ check_command = "ping4"
+ //assign where host.address
+}
+```
-**Note**: Using [systemd](02-getting-started.md#systemd-service) you need to manually validate the configuration using
-the CLI command below.
+Validate the configuration:
- # icinga2 daemon -C
+```
+# icinga2 daemon -C

## Reload on Configuration Changes <a id="config-change-reload"></a>
to [validate](11-cli-commands.md#config-validation). If there are no validation errors, you can
safely reload the Icinga 2 daemon.
- # systemctl reload icinga2
+```
+# systemctl reload icinga2
+```
The `reload` action will send the `SIGHUP` signal to the Icinga 2 daemon
which will validate the configuration in a separate process and not stop
