Zabbix API problem by maintenance.creat

[Spearmint0695]

Hello all together

I am writing a python script to set maintenance mode for hostgroups. I can set maintenance windows starting from now, but when I try to make a maintenance windows on a day next week, it doesn't work. Maybe there is a problem in my json request.

payload = {}
payload['jsonrpc'] = '2.0'
payload['method'] = 'maintenance.create'
payload['params'] = {}
payload['params']['name'] = "Maintenance period for: " + hostgroup + ""
payload['params']['active_since'] = start_dt (is a timestamp with the date and the time)
payload['params']['active_till'] = new_epoch ( also timestamp with the ending time)
payload['params']['groups'] = []
groups = {}
groups['groupid'] = hostgroupid
payload['params']['groups'].append(groups)
payload['params']['description'] = "This maintenance period is created by a script."
payload['params']['timeperiods'] = []
timeperiods = {}
timeperiods['period'] = period
timeperiods['timeperiod_type'] = 0
timeperiods['start_date'] = start_date_ts (its a timestamp 1714514400.0)
timeperiods['start_time'] = start_time_s (it's 33300s also 09:15)
payload['params']['timeperiods'].append(timeperiods)
payload['auth'] = token
payload['id'] = 1

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance

I have resolved this problem with help from zabbix support. The timeperiods['start_time'] = start_time_s (it's 33300s also 09:15) is not needed in this case because of timeperiods['start_date'] = start_date_ts (its a timestamp 1714514400.0). And second thing the timestamp has to be an int value and not a float value.
