Add new item to template - Zabbix 2.0.5 API

[boogie590]

Hi,
How can I add new item to template through API? Every example (that i found) is showing how to add item to single host (by required hostid) not to host groups or templates.

Thanks

I think you should use item.create or item.update with corresponding templateid

I've solved it. Every template has its own hostid. That hostid is invisible through host.get method, but it can be used to item.create. So if You wanna create template item through API, first get some item from that template with output = extend and read "hostid", then used that id to create item.

You can actually get template host ids using host.get, but you have to have the "templated_hosts" flag set to true.
