Can we pass the user ID and password with curl to make an OpsCenter API call?

Hello Team,

Can we pass the user id and password to get the information using curl.

$ curl -u username:password http://<opscenterHost>:<port>/<cluster_name>/alert-rules

when I tried the above it's not working. Can you please suggest some option to pass the user id and password to get the output


Thanks,

Ratna kumar

You first have to authenticate using /login URL like below:

curl -X POST -d '{"username":"admin","password":"test"}' 'http://opescenter:8888/login'

It will give you a session ID to use for the requests you want to make:

{"sessionid": "d6c5e198b9b5ffeab9fd8dea6fb012aa"}

Now, you can use this session ID in HTTP header to call any OpsCenter API:

curl -H 'opscenter-session: d6c5e198b9b5ffeab9fd8dea6fb012aa' http://<opscenterHost>:<port>/<cluster_name>/alert-rules

See the following URL.

@ratna53_110276 If authentication is enabled on OpsCenter, you will need to authenticate first to obtain a session token like this:

$ curl -X POST -d '{"username":"admin","password":"test"}' 'http://localhost:8888/login'
{"sessionid": "d6c5e198b9b5ffeab9fd8dea6fb012aa"}

You would then include the session ID in the HTTP header when you make API calls like this:

$ curl -H 'opscenter-session: d6c5e198b9b5ffeab9fd8dea6fb012aa' http://localhost:8888/cluster-configs

For more information, see the Authentication page of the OpsCenter API documentation. Cheers!
