Introduction

Console Management​

🌟 Premium feature

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​

We need to enable the option on the LAPI side:

sudo cscli console enable console_management
sudo systemctl restart crowdsec

The console_management is now enabled and our CrowdSec Security Engine is ready to receive orders from the CrowdSec Console.
