So far I’ve been able to find a command line alternative to various WATO capabilities that I’ve needed to exercise via an automation script. However, I have yet to figure out how to create a new monitoring user via a script outside of editing the users.mk file using various Bash commands. Is there some supported way of doing this using OMD or CMK commands?
`Hi,
you can use the API. Check out the possibilities: `

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I cannot use that method because it requires me to transmit login credentials in clear text, which is forbidden under the security rules I must operate under.

well, you could transmit over SSL, I assume you have setup https for check_mk. We use all the time the API over SSL for all kind of operations, only for the users we use LDAP/AD.

Hi Ron,
you don’t have to submit the clear text passwords. First use an automation user for the API. This user cannot login to the website.
And if you use HTTPS then you also will not transmit in clear text.
The API is the only way to add/modify users outside of WATO.
Best regards
Andreas

The API is the only way to add/modify users outside of WATO.
I think the concern is GET vs POST and browser history (AFAIK
only place where they are really different when run from within
HTTPS). Automation user may not login to website (I guess that means
WATO since the API is connecting using https) but still can do lots of
exciting things.
