how to add a single host from cli?

[maxlock]

Hi folks,

I've got an external provisioning system setup here, which I want to interface to Zabbix.

Is there some way I can call a php script on the command line, with arguements that contain the host settings?

I've got this far thanks to other posts, but get errors relating to permissions.....

#!/usr/bin/php4
<?php
include "include/config.inc.php";
$page["title"] = "Hosts";
$page["file"] = "hosts.php";
$hard_port = "10050"; //cause I want to use ZABBIX agentd on this port
$hard_status = "0"; //cause I want the status to be monitored
$hard_useip = "0"; //cause I want to use IP address
$hard_newgroup = ""; //I did not used it
$hard_host_templateid = "10014"; //This is the hostid of the host template
$hard_groups = array(4); //This is the group I want my new host to belong to...
$host = $argv[0]; //hostname from command line
$ip = '';//not using ip addresses
add_host($host,$hard_port,$hard_status,$hard_useip ,$ip,$hard_host_templateid,$hard_newgroup,$hard_gr oups);
?>

this script doesn't work :(

So how can I 'jig' the permissions stuff?

Obviously by commenting permission check in add_host()...

Yep, that's a possibility, but a little dirty and ugly :) I wanted to do it as cleanly as possible.

-Thanks Max.
