Importing Proxy from xml

[iaono]

Hi all,

I want to be able to add a proxy by importing its xml for automation purposes.

It looks like proxies are located in the zabbixdb.hosts table and the only big difference is its 'status' field has a value of '5' ('0' for hosts, '3' templates).

As an experiment I have this xml template for a host that I am able to import without issue.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<zabbix_export version="1.0">
  <hosts>
    <host name="TEST--host">
      <useip>1</useip>
      <dns></dns>
      <ip>0.0.0.0</ip>
      <port>10050</port>
      <status>0</status>
      <useipmi>0</useipmi>
      <ipmi_ip></ipmi_ip>
      <ipmi_port>623</ipmi_port>
      <ipmi_authtype>0</ipmi_authtype>
      <ipmi_privilege>2</ipmi_privilege>
    </host>
  </hosts>
  <dependencies/>
</zabbix_export>

After removing the host I just imported, I then changed only the following lines in the above xml:

      <port>10051</port>
      <status>5</status>

When I try to import, it fails and gives the following error:

[ CHost::massAdd ] You do not have enough rights for operation
[ CHost::create ]

Any ideas how I can force it to import a proxy through xml?

Thanks!
