How to delete expired maintenance period via API

[natalia]

Hi,

Is it any way to delete expired maintenance period via API ?

Once it expired, maintenance id change to be "0".

I created zabbix_maintenance.pl script to add/remove host to maintenance period with maintenance name = hostname, but once it expired - I can't add/remove it.

As a option, it to create with maintenance name =hostname_`date` but again, I will have no way to delete it once it expired

I have 8000 hosts and a lot of maintenance ....

Please share your experience how do you manage it

Thanks

In Perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#

$MAXMNTDAYS=$ARGV[0] =~ /^\d+$/ ? $ARGV[0] : 720; # max expired days

use Zabbix::Tiny;

package ZBX;

use Class::Tiny { zabbix => ''};

sub connect {
    my ($self) = @_;

    $self->zabbix(Zabbix::Tiny->new(
        server   => $your_api_endpoint,
        password => $your_password,
        user     => $your_username
      )
    );
} # connect

sub getMaintenances {
    my ($self) = @_;

    my @maintenances;

    my $maintenances = $self->zabbix->do(
        'maintenance.get',
        {
            output              => [ "maintenanceid", "name", "active_since", "active_till" ],
            sortfield           => [ "name" ],
            limit               => "2048",
        }
    );

    for my $maintenance (@$maintenances) {
        push @maintenances, $maintenance;
    }

    return @maintenances;
} # getMaintenances

sub deleteMaintenance {
    my ($self) = @_;
    my $maintenanceid = @_[1];


    my @maintenanceids = $self->zabbix->do(
        'maintenance.delete',
        [ "$maintenanceid" ]
    );

    return @maintenanceids;
} # deleteMaintenance

1;

#
# main
#

my $zbx = ZBX->new();

$zbx->connect();

#
# check and delete
#

my @maintenances = $zbx->getMaintenances();

foreach my $mnt (@maintenances) {
    if ($mnt->{active_till} + $MAXMNTDAYS*86400 < time()) {
        $zbx->deleteMaintenance($mnt->{maintenanceid});

        my $active_since = localtime($mnt->{active_since});
        my $active_till = localtime($mnt->{active_till});

        print( "'$mnt->{name}' deleted from Zabbix -  '$active_since - '$active_till'\n");
    }
}

exit 0;
