Introduction
Console Management
The CrowdSec Security Engine is now able to receive instructions from the console. This is done via a polling API, it means that the CrowdSec Local API will use long polling to get orders from the CrowdSec Console. Currently, only 4 orders are available:
- Adding decisions from the console
- Delete decisions from the console
- Force pull the community-blocklist/third party list when an instance subscribe/unsubscribe to a blocklist in the Console
- Reauth to CAPI, when for example an instance is added to a tag
Enable console management
Since CrowdSec v1.6.9, this flag is no longer required. CrowdSec will automatically detect the console plan in use and enable this option if needed.
It may take up to 30 minutes for CrowdSec to detect a plan upgrade or downgrade.
Since CrowdSec v1.8.0, the console_management option has been removed.
On versions before v1.6.9, the option has to be enabled on the LAPI side:
sudo cscli console enable console_management
sudo systemctl restart crowdsec
Your CrowdSec Security Engine is now ready to receive orders from the CrowdSec Console.
Since CrowdSec v1.8.0, cscli console status tells you whether decision management is actually active for this engine, see verifying the connection.
