Zabix API create action

[crillus]

hello guys,

I'm currently trying to script a creation of an auto-registration action on zabbix 3.0.0 using pyzabbix and I'm stuck on a problem.



Here is my script :

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI


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


parameters = "{'status': '0', 'def_shortdata': 'Auto registration: {HOST.HOST}', 'name': 'Auto registration', 'esc_period': '0', 'def_longdata': 'Host name: {HOST.HOST}\r\nHost IP: {HOST.IP}\r\nAgent port: {HOST.PORT}', 'eventsource': '2', 'actionid': '7', 'r_shortdata': '', 'r_longdata': u'', 'recovery_msg': '0', operations: [{'operationtype': 2}]}"

zapi.action.create(parameters)

According to what I saw it is supposed to work but... no.

Here is the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "autoDiscoverAction.py", line 9, in <module>
    zapi.action.create(parameters)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/__init__.py", line 157, in fn
    args or kwargs
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/__init__.py", line 134, in do_request
    raise ZabbixAPIException(msg, response_json['error']['code'])
pyzabbix.ZabbixAPIException: (u'Error -32602: Invalid params., Incorrect parameter for action "{".', -32602)

Do you see where I made a mistake ?


Thank you !

Probably it's 'actionid': '7'. Correct params:

Hello, thank you for your answer and sorry for the delay, I was away for the week-end.

I've tried first by correcting my parameters according to your JSON, and finally I used it directly, nothing different by using this line for parameters.

parameters = '{ "status": "0", "def_shortdata": "Auto registration: {HOST.HOST}", "name": "Auto registration", "esc_period": "0", "def_longdata": "Host name: {HOST.HOST}\r\nHost IP: {HOST.IP}\r\nAgent port: {HOST.PORT}", "eventsource": "2", "recovery_msg": "0", "operations": [ {"operationtype": "2" } ]}'

Here is the error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "autoDiscoverAction.py", line 7, in <module>
    zapi.action.create(parameters)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/__init__.py", line 157, in fn
    args or kwargs
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyzabbix/__init__.py", line 134, in do_request
    raise ZabbixAPIException(msg, response_json['error']['code'])
pyzabbix.ZabbixAPIException: (u'Error -32602: Invalid params., Incorrect parameter for action "{".', -32602)

Do you have an idea ?

Syntax is your problem. You have to pass parameters as keyword arguments to pyzabbix. You are passing them as a string, which contains json. Read some pyzabbix examples - https://github.com/lukecyca/pyzabbix...aster/examples .
