Zabbix API - Create Map Link

[fbartolini]

Hi to everyone,


I'm trying to automate the creation of zabbix maps, and I couldn't figure out how to create links between two hosts already placed on the map through the API. Does anyone know how to do?

The documentation know:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/reference/map/create#create-a-host-map

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/reference/map/object#map-link

Thanks for your reply, but I can't figure out from the documentation which is the correct json structure.
I try to explain better, if it is not clear, my need by making an example:
I have a map that already has four hosts on it. Between two of them there is already a link, I have to create a new one on the other two. Is the correct command map.update? and if so, what is the json structure to create the link only?

You should read existing links and then add link you need, atleast example below would overwrite existing links. JSON could look like this(three hosts, two links between those):

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "map.update",
    "params": {
        "output": "extend",
        "links": [{"selementid1":"13","selementid2":"8"},{"selementid1":"9","selementid2":"8"}],
        "sysmapid":"2"
    },
    "auth": "YOUR API KEY",
    "id": 1
}​

This would return hosts and links(selementid) from map with id 2

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "map.get",
    "params": {
        "output": "extend",
        "selectSelements": "extend",
        "selectLinks": "extend",
        "sysmapids":"2"
    },
    "auth": "YOUR API KEY",
    "id": 1
}​
