1.6.3 XML Import no longer works.

[Ralf Steiner]

Importing XML Templates seems to be broken after updating 1.6.2 to 1.6.3

[Aly]

silly typo.

PATCH:

The only rule I can select in 'missing' scenario is 'skip'.

Who sad this is a bug?

I found 1.6.3 very f... up :-( as i've noticed many more problems.

Examples please.

I've deleted previous post as all was my mistake :-/.

I figured out, that my export was not properly done - I didn't check 'items', 'triggers' and 'Graphs' on exported templates, and XML file was empty.

Now it works OK, but I think. I'll be looking for a support on this forum very often ;-)

I've got another problem: after upgrade to 1.6.3 I can't import templates.

It works absolutely fine.

The only rule I can select in 'missing' scenario is 'skip'.

It was always like this.

I found 1.6.3 very f... up :-( as i've noticed many more problems.

Could you be more specific please?

I think, I should open new topic for every issue, but I write short list of what i found. I'll try to describe it with details (and maybe with patches in short future):

- cloning an item gives me:

    * Added new item Template_Sun_Blade_8000_SP:SYS_T_AMB2
    * Undefined variable: applications[/usr/share/zabbix/include/items.inc.php:352]
    * Invalid argument supplied for foreach()[/usr/share/zabbix/include/items.inc.php:1171]
    * Added new item module 0:SYS_T_AMB2

- I can't monitor more than one snmp v3 host at a time. After adding another host - no data is collected from the new one. If I disable host 1, and restart zabbix-server, host 2 is working, but i can't enable monitoring of host 1 any more (this issue is also on 1.6.2). Switching to snmp v2c fixes all problems.

The above patch fixed my problem in 1.6.3 as well. I would click on Import and be presented with a blank screen. Ah, for missing parenthesis.

If you're using Zabbix web and are too lazy to re-deploy, you can download the patch, and do something like (your paths might be different):

cd /tmp
wget 'http://www.zabbix.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1814&d=1238162855' -O zabbix-import.patch
cd /usr/share/zabbix
# (as root)
patch --dry-run -p2 /tmp/zabbix-import.patch

This "dry run" should report any errors if there are any problems. If there are no problems, apply the patch:

# (as root)
patch -b -p2 /tmp/zabbix-import.patch

Wow - glad i checked the Forums before posting a support ticket. Solved my import problem instantly. Thank you! One little thing, i couldn't get the patch to apply so i edited import.inc.php in-situ (and the php sourcefile, too). If I knew what you were targeting under /usr/share/zabbix it might have helped translate to my install - no crits, of course cuz it worked great. Presumably that is your zabbix sources location?
