delete host using zabcon on server 1.8.3

[horatiu]

I get an error when using zabcon to delete a host on the zabbix server 1.8.3

The command and error are below:

{"auth":"e9fa9c909efd386cddf4e4c7b68dc736","method ":"host.delete","id":3,"params":[{"hostid":10055}],"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Error code: -32500
Error message: Application error.
Error data: [ CHost::delete ] You do not have permission to perform this operation

host exist and I'm logged it before the call as Admin, so there should be no problem regarding the rights. Doing the same thing from the interface logged as Admin succeeds.

any advice would be welcome

thanks

hmm... this does look like a bug in api. please, report on the tracker.

I have similar problem:

Unable to update: Array ( [code] => -32500 [message] => Application error. [data] => [ CTemplate::massAdd ] You do not have permission to perform this operation )

While I try to link a host to a template:

ZabbixAPI::query('template','massAdd',array( 'templates' => array('templateid' => 10077),'hosts' => array( 'hostid' => 11058)))
or die('Unable to update: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));

dors anyone has resolution?

Cheers!

note that you must have full permissions for the template and host in question. posting raw json, sent to the api, might also be useful

[zaicnupagadi]

Being honest I don't really understand the "posting raw json" term. I send the full content of my file, I hope it will help to find any mistakes of mine.

Below the code, many thanks for help!

<?php

require_once('include/config.inc.php');
require_once("zabbixapi_class/ZabbixAPI.class.php");
ZabbixAPI::debugEnabled(TRUE);
// This logs into Zabbix, and returns false if it fails
ZabbixAPI::login('http://IP/','login','password')
or die('Unable to login: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));

ZabbixAPI::query('template','update',array('templa teid'=>11058, 'hosts'=> array('host' => 10049, 'host' => 10077 )))
or die('Unable to update: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));
echo "Host has been updated!\n";

?>

the solution you use eventually sends a json string to the api. that string, the exact one being sent, would allow more people to help, as it would not be limited to knowing a single lib

I have attached the file with php code, I have downloaded it from http://andrewfarley.com/php/zabbix-1...php-class-v1-0, I hope the file include needed information.

I hope that somebody's also using it, and can help.
