Zabbix API import not works

[crillus]

hello guys !

I use Zabbix 3.0.0
I try to use the Zabbix API to import several templates.

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://127.0.0.1/zabbix")
zapi.login("Admin", "mypassword")

with open('/appli/exploit/zbx_export_templates.xml', 'r') as myfile:
    data=myfile.read().replace('\n', '').replace('  ', '')

ret = zapi.confimport(format='xml', source=data)


print ret

According to the "ret" value the confimport works successfully (it returns True), however nothing appears in the web GUI. I give you the template in attached files, could you tell me where the problem is ?

Thank you for your answer.

Hello guys,

Sorry for the delay, I finally found the solution, but I tjink there is something to be done regarding to the Zabbix API (a bug maybe)

I've defined some rules exactly the same as what we can see using the UI when you import a template and it works now

rules_s = {'groups':{'createMissing':'true'},'templates':{'createMissing':'true'},'templateScreens':{'createMissing':'true'},'templateLinkage':{'createMissing':'true'},'items':{'createMissing':'true'},'discoveryRules':{'createMissing':'true'},'applications':{'createMissing':'true'},     'triggers':{'createMissing':'true'}, 'graphs':{'createMissing':'true'}, 'valueMaps':{'createMissing':'true'}}

ret = zapi.confimport(format='xml', source=data, rules=rules_s)

Great !

However I insist : confimport should not return success if the import fails due to a rules error. Maybe there is a way to improve the Zabbix API
