zabbix 2.2.3 api host/hostgroup massremove do not work

[frederic.martinsons]

Hello, i'm on linux and i decide to go and give a try to the zabbix API.

No problem getting a list of host/host group/template. No problem to add a host to an host group but I didn't manage to remove a host from a group. I used to functions, the two of them didn't work. See the message below.

for host.massremove I send:

{
    'method': 'host.massremove',
    'params': {
        'groups': [{'groupid': '17'}],
        'hosts': [{'hostid': '10205'}]
    },
    'jsonrpc': '2.0',
    'id': 4,
    'auth': '10ad0fac3d0e6a75237b3af6a6837183'
}

and I got:

{
    "id": 4,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "error": {
        "code": -32500,
        "message": "Application error.",
        "data": "You do not have permission to perform this operation."
    }
}

I'm logged into Admin and I have no problem removinf from host by the web frontend with the same account.

More disturbing is the hostgroup.massremove method when I send:

{
    'method': 'hostgroup.massremove',
    'params': {
        'groups': [{'groupid': '17'}],
        'hosts': [{'hostid': '10205'}]
    },
    'jsonrpc': '2.0',
    'id': 4,
    'auth': '6aa88a60ff12f502ab73b36fb1c86176'
}

I got:

{
    "result": {
        "groupids": null
    },
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 4
}

So I don't understand what's going on with these remove functions. I saw several bug reporting about this kind of behavior but all for 2.0.x and 1.8.x and all fix. I didn't found any log on the zabbix server showing something in particular.

Can you please help me with this problem ?

Well nervermind, I completely failed to put the right parameters of the functions. The right parameters are :

   'params': {
       'hostids': ['10200'],
       'groupids': ['17']}
    },

instead of :

    'params': {
        'groups': [{'groupid': '17'}],
        'hosts': [{'hostid': '10205'}]
    },

Sorry for this. Nevertheless, it seems to be a good idea to reply with a more meaningful message other than "You do not have permission to perform this operation" , something like "unknown or bad parameters".
