Centreon CLAPI Restore

Overview

This role restores Centreon monitoring configuration from a CLAPI (Command Line API) backup file. It automatically identifies the latest backup, imports the configuration, and applies it to the Centreon server. This role is the companion to centreon_clapi_backup.

What This Role Does

1. Finds all CLAPI backup files in the specified backup directory
2. Identifies the latest backup based on file modification time
3. Fails gracefully if no backup files are found
4. Displays the backup being restored for user confirmation
5. Imports the configuration using centreon -i command
6. Applies the configuration using APPLYCFG to poller 1
7. Confirms successful restoration with debug output

Role Variables

Variable	Description
vault_centreon_admin_password	Centreon admin password (from vault)
centreon_clapi_restore_backup_path	Directory containing backup files
centreon_clapi_restore_admin_user	Centreon admin username

Notes

• Automatically picks the most recent centreon_clapi_backup_*.txt file from the backup directory
• Import is additive: existing objects with the same name are updated; objects not in backup are left unchanged
• After import, runs APPLYCFG on poller 1 to apply the configuration
• Fails explicitly if no backup files are found
• Admin password uses no_log: true; must be stored in Ansible Vault
