Configuration Import zabbix API

[borrelnoot]

Hi All,

I'm trying to import configuration data via the Zabbix API, but it's not working.
For the test I've copied the example import data from this URL

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/api/configuration/import

I've created a script to handle the authentication and post the data via CURL
I edited the source data from the example to something logical for my environment (IP, servername etc).

Now, when I import the data via the API the response is what I expect it to be {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":true,"id":1}

But when I look into Zabbix, nothing happened, no host is added!
When I import the source data via the webui, it works so the data is OK.

I'm using the latest Zabbix version, Zabbix 2.0.6
Can someone help with this one?

Thanks a lot
Kind Regards
Ruud

Example

Hi All,

I wan to confirm a problem with working examples

Because all of this is experimental,
I use external JSON file with included "prepared" XML-string, as described in documentation's examle (configuration.import)

("prepared" xml-string = all data from exported xml-file without new lines and spaces and this comment: <!--?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?-->)

JSON file:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "configuration.import",
    "params": {
        "format": "xml",
        "rules": {
            "templates": {
                "createMissing": true,
                "updateExisting": true
            },
            "items": {
                "createMissing": true,
                "updateExisting": true
            }
        },
        "source": "<zabbix_export><version>2.0</version>...</zabbix_export>"
    },
    "auth": "91ea4764dcab42e8317b399c42985792",
    "id": 1
}

Simple bash script:

#! /bin/bash

apiurl="http://10.254.254.1/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php" 

## Getting Auth Token:
#json_auth_data='{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"user.authenticate","params":{"user":"Admin","password":"zabbix"},"auth":null,"id":0}'
#auth_token=$(curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
    -d $json_auth_data $apiurl 2>/dev/null | grep result | cut -d'"' -f 8)
## But in examples I will use static one:
auth_token="91ea4764dcab42e8317b399c42985792" 

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
    -d "$(cat /root/zapi/conf_import.json)" $apiurl

Execution:

# ./zcurl.sh
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":true,"id":1}

Is it a bug or what can we do to make it work?
