Create api token via the bash terminal

Help
1

Hello,

I’m trying to automate the build of our librenms server. I’m trying to set up the api token, which appears to be done via we web gui console:

https://docs.librenms.org/#API/#tokens

I was wondering if there is a way to automate this too? E.g. maybe by running a mysql command or running a php script in my bash terminal.

You need to know the user id for the token but insert into the api_tokens table in mysql

Thanks Iaf,

I think I got it working by running the following commands, in my case the username is ‘admin’

mysql -u root -s -N --database='librenms' -e 'select user_id from users where username="admin"'

this gave the user_id, then I added my api_token, here’s an example:

mysql -u root --database='librenms' -e 'insert into api_tokens (id,user_id,token_hash,description,disabled) VALUES (1,1,"e9bab3639db475105f6eb41b969e7cc4","This token is used by the Ansible Tower",0);'
