Zabbix API & Host creation

[pierre-hoffmann]

Hi,

I'm trying to use new Zabbix API to create an host with Zabbix php-class API but it doesn't work:
(http://andrewfarley.com/php/zabbix-1...php-class-v1-0 )
-> List hostGroup OK:

$five_hostgroup = ZabbixAPI::fetch_array('hostgroup','get',
     array('extendoutput'=>1, 'limit'=>5))
    or die('Unable to get hosts: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));

echo "<li>List hostgroups: <pre>"
      .print_r($five_hostgroup, true)."</pre></li>\n";

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [groupid] => 1
            [name] => Templates
            [internal] => 0
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [groupid] => 5
            [name] => O_NETWARE
            [internal] => 0
        )
[...]

-> Create host KO:

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'add', array("host"=>toto,
                                 "groupids"=>array(0=>6,1=>5)
                                )
) 
    or die('<li>Unable to create host: '.
    print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true).'</li>');

Result:

Got response from API: ({"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32602,

What's my mistake ?

Replace "groupids" param with "groups" containing array of objects type of group.

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'create',
array(
"host"=>"toto",
"groups"=>array(array("groupid"=>6), array("groupid"=>5))
)
)

The error message is actually quite descriptive and correct on this one. :-)

Host.add does not exist. However host.create does. Line 636 api/classes/class.chost.php from 1.8 release.

However the documentation in the source is misleading. I'd open a bug to this effect and that one of the following should happen. 1) The documentation should be changed from add to create, or 2) the function name should be changed from create to add. Option one seems to have less impact.

Yepp I missed this one, host.create should be. i'll fix my previous post.

Staring at the API code long before it was being used is starting to pay off I guess... :-D

Hi,

Thanks for your responses;

i've used zabbix manuel but it seem buggy ??
(http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...jects/host#add)

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'create', array("host"=>toto,
                                 "groups"=>array(array("group"=>6),array("group"=>5))
                                )
)

now i've another error: (my api user have super Admin Zabbix right)

(
    code => -32500
    [message] => Application error.
    [data] => [ CHost::create ] You do not have enough rights for operation
)

i've see something here (http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57718)
but i don't understand russian

Two things, does the user you are using for the API call have permission to create a host in that group if you were to do it through the GUI? I'm also assuming you've got API privs enabled for this user anyway.

group -> groupid!!!

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'create', array("host"=>toto,
                                 "groups"=>array(array("[U]groupid[/U]"=>6),array("[U]groupid[/U]"=>5))
                                )
)

                                )
)

Oups now it Work ... Sorry

Hi,

Creation work great, but another question what's good syntaxe for host.delete :

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'delete', array(0=>$host_id) )
        or die('<li>Unable to delete host: '
.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true).'</li>');
echo "<li>Delete a host toto</li>\n"

[10015] => {"auth":"66ad350dbb3385768bbfbdcddb673b65","method":
"host.delete","id":1,"params":["11498"],"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
    [10102] => gzip
)

[error] => Array
(
            code => -32500
            message => Application error.
            data => [ CHost::delete ] [COLOR="red"]S_NO_PERMISSION[/COLOR]
)

[pierre-hoffmann]

Oups i've find the solution:

Good syntaxe for host.delete was :

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'delete', array(hostid=>$host_id) )

Debug:

{"auth":"7f3d4fbdb2d558b2434b6e847a2acaec",
"method":"host.delete","id":1,"params":{"hostid":"11503"},"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Got response from API:

What about host link with template

I'v try to link a host to a template.
Acording to documentation :
( http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...jects/template )
7. linkHosts Parameters: templateid (string) ;hostids (array)

I test this :

ZabbixAPI::query('template', 'linkhosts', array("hostids"=>array("100100000010629"), "templateid"=>"100100000010053"));

but the response was:

Got response from API: ({"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32602,"message":"Invalid params.","data":"Action (linkhosts) does not exist"},"id":1})

Any suggestions ?

[to6ko]

just found it

ZabbixAPI::query('host', 'create', array("host"=>"test7",
"groups"=>array(array("groupid"=>"100100000000005" )),"ip"=>"10.10.3.2", "useip"=>"1","templates"=>"100100000010053"
))

where 100100000010053 is the templateid of template you want to link the host to

Hello,
I also have problems with creating applications :

$createappli=array("name"=>"Plone",
"hosts"=>array(array("hostid" =>10001))
);
$application_id = ZabbixAPI::query('application','create',$createappli)
    or die('Unable to ADD Application: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));

I got this error :
[CODE]
Unable to ADD Application: Array
(

 => -32602
    [message] => Invalid params.
    [data] => [ CApplication::create ] Cannot create application
)

[tof233]

Finally I fixed it with

$createappli=array("name"=>"Plone_".$plonename,"hostid" =>$template_id
);
$application = ZabbixAPI::fetch_array('application','create',$createappli)
    or die('Unable to ADD Application: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));
$application_id=$application["applicationids"][0];
