Import map.xml with api

[esawyja]

Hi all,
I have the following code that I use to import hosts etc, it seems that the source line must be linarized? see below
#! /bin/bash

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d'
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "configuration.import",
"params": {
"format": "xml",
"rules": {
"hosts": {
"createMissing": true,
"updateExisting": true
},
"groups": {
"createMissing": true,
"updateExisting": true
},
"items": {
"createMissing": true,
"updateExisting": true
},
"applications": {
"createMissing": true,
"updateExisting": true
},
"triggers": {
"createMissing": true,
"updateExisting": true
},
"templateLinkage" : {
"createMissing": true
},
"graphs": {
"createMissing": true,
"updateExisting": true
}
},
"source": "<!--?xmlversion=\"1.0\"encoding=\"UTF-8\"?--><zabbix_export><version>2.0</version><date>2015-08-26T07:23:04Z</date><groups><group><name>Linuxservers</name></group></groups><hosts><host><host>zab_dl</host><name>zab_dl</name><description/><proxy/><status>0</status><ipmi_authtype>-1</ipmi_authtype><ipmi_privilege>2</ipmi_privilege><ipmi_username/><ipmi_password/><templates><template><name>TemplateOSLinux</name></template><template><name>Template_Oracle</name></template></templates><groups><group><name>Linuxservers</name></group></groups><interfaces><interface><default>1</default><type>1</type><useip>1</useip><ip>172.28.200.167</ip><dns/><port>10050</port><bulk>1</bulk><interface_ref>if1</interface_ref></interface></interfaces><applications/><items/><discovery_rules/><macros/><inventory/></host></hosts></zabbix_export>"
},
"auth": "d4cfb53050bc1d1efa59c510bb4246d7",
"id": 1
}
' http://172.28.200.170/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php

With a map.xml that imports without any problems using the gui, the method above does not seem to work, I suspect the map file might be to big? the only error I see is
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32600,"message":"Invalid Request.","data":"JSON-rpc version is not specified."},"id":null}

My question is, using the method above, is there a way to specify the actual map file instead of linarizing the source?

Please help, I'm out of ideas

Hi esawyja,

I think it would be easier to use one of the following methods:

1- Export an existing map to xml, modify it according to taste and re-import it using the Zabbix Frontend Import function.

- OR -

2- Use the Zabbix API for maps (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../reference/map) and you will find life easier.

Good luck!
