map.create

Description

object map.create(object/array maps)

This method allows to create new maps.

This method is available to users of any type. Permissions to call the method can be revoked in user role settings. See User roles for more information.

Parameters

(object/array) Maps to create.

Additionally to the standard map properties, the method accepts the following parameters.

Parameter Type Description
links array Map links to be created on the map.
selements array Map elements to be created on the map.
urls array Map URLs to be created on the map.
users array Map user shares to be created on the map.
userGroups array Map user group shares to be created on the map.
shapes array Map shapes to be created on the map.
lines array Map lines to be created on the map.

To create map links you'll need to set a map element selementid to an arbitrary value and then use this value to reference this element in the links selementid1 or selementid2 properties. When the element is created, this value will be replaced with the correct ID generated by Zabbix. See example.

Return values

(object) Returns an object containing the IDs of the created maps under the sysmapids property. The order of the returned IDs matches the order of the passed maps.
