Get Host Name by its ID

[shay]

Hi

I'm issuing a "problem.get" api call and I get the result.
One of the properties in the result is objectid, which holds the id of the relevant host.
How can I translate the Id to its hostname?

Thanks in advance.


Example output:


eventid : 926
source : 0
object : 0
objectid : 19836
clock : 1639898475
ns : 415548935
r_eventid : 0
r_clock : 0
r_ns : 0
correlationid : 0
userid : 0
name : "BITS" (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) is not running (startup type automatic delayed)
acknowledged : 0
severity : 3
opdata :
suppressed : 0
urls : {}

host.get

hostids

string/array

Return only hosts with the given host IDs.

Hi

I saw that too but I can't get it to work. Something like:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "host.get",
"params": {
"output" = "hostid","name"
"filter": {
"hostid": 12345
}
},
"auth": "038e1d7b1735c6a5436ee9eae095879e",
"id": 1
}

But the result doesn't include the host name. Can you share a code example?

I'm having problems editing my reply so writing here.

I think I got it wrong assuming objectid is the id of the host on which the problem occurred.
Which of the properties of "problems.get" refers to the host? How can I relate a problem to a host?


### UPDATE ###

I managed to get the problems for each host by querying hosts and passing each hostid to the following:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0"
"method": "problem.get"
"auth" = 1111111111
"id" = 1
"params" = {
"hostids" = ["222"]
}
}

Hi mate.

As mentioned in Problem Object documentation, "object" property value of 0 indicates that object is trigger. So that is TriggerID, not the HostID. I think you should try trigger.get with this ID while also passing parameter "selectHosts": "extend" and see what it returns.
