Icinga2 object ApiUser is unknown

Question

I need help understanding an error why I'm seeing an error. The feature api is already enabled with the correct ApiListener object, and Api logs are being updated in /var/lib/icinga2/api/log/current .

But I'm getting this error when I restart icinga2:

Error: Error while evaluating expression: The type 'ApiUser' is unknown: in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/api-users.conf: 1:0-1:20

I'm running version r2.3.10-1 of Icinga2 on Ubuntu.

Can someone explain what the problem is?

Answer 1

You are probably mixing the current snapshot packages with the released stable versions. The 'ApiUser' object is part of the upcoming Icinga 2 v2.4 release and only available in git master (and therefore snapshot packages as well as docs). The stable 2.3.x tree does not have that kind of configuration object type and therefore bails out with an error.

Remove that file or its content, you don't need it for 2.3.x.
