PHP script from import xml dumps manually

[mkein]

Hello all,

im trying to get a little php script to import xml templates generated using a modified perl script i found on this forum, and would like you guys to point to some api doc, or some advice to get this to work.


At this time, i started taking the part ot the hosts.php that does the import and seems to be working but nothing is added on the zabbix manager. If i add the xml file through the web its working, so theres no issue with the xml.

IF i enter bad chrs on the xml, the script complaints about it and failed to end, so seems like the basic functionality is ok, this i miss some parameters to get to the db maybe ?

        $rules = array(T_ZBX_STR, O_OPT, null, DB_ID, null);

        } else {
                $file= $argv[1];
        }


        print "[+]  Started import from file $file\n";
        DBstart();
        $result = zbxXML::import($file);
        if($result) {
                print "[+]  Parging XML file $file\n";
                $result = zbxXML::parseMain($rules);
                if ($result) {
                        $result = DBend($result);

                } else {
                        print "\n[-] Failed while parsing $file\n";

                }
        } else {
                print "\n[-] Failed while loading XML file $file\n";
        }
        print "\n";

Thank you all

I added a modified config.inc.php just to get the error function to avoid being redirected to the index auth page.

I removed the following (diff output)

The data vars seems to be related to the web access, but maybe are used somehow during the import.
I usually removed the update Template linkage on the import webpage, how can i set this value ?
