Create graphs via api, using item key instead of the item id

[amindri]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a Java program to generate Items, triggers, and graphs. The program reads pre stored templates, which includes the Json message.

So far I had no problem in creating triggers, as its 'expression' is based on the relevant item's 'key'.

The problem begins when it comes to graph creation, as it is based on the item id, but not on item key. My program is written in a very flexible way that users can extend its functionality.

Having graphs to be created with item id, disturbs its flexibility. Instead is there any way of creating graphs using the item key?

Does Zabbix 1.8.4 support this?
Any suggestions are welcome....
thanx in advance

No.

To do this you have to use item.get and get the id and do graph.create based on that.

thank u for the idea.....
But it would have been easier if Zabbix provided that option. Hope this will be added in a coming releases
