custom low level discovery - 2.2.1

[sphen]

hey guys-

frustrated here as i am adding a new custom low level discovery item and it keeps throwing an error saying that it cannot add as an item already exists. i have added these in the past with no issue and i am pretty sure the syntax of the JSON is valid and i am creating it properly... the only new thing is that everything is running on 2.2.1 now.

attached are a couple images of the setup and error -- here also is the json output of the discovery:

{
	"data":[

	{
		"{#CCCTaskUUID}":"00EE6F44_D594_4183_A2AF_E5E78FC29252",
		"{#CCCTaskName}":"xserve_1"
	}
	,
	{
		"{#CCCTaskUUID}":"3669A285_3A4F_4955_A4FF_FCD96FF53DCD",
		"{#CCCTaskName}":"xserve_2"
	}

	]
}

hmm... try using only uppercase letters in macro/variable name

oh good lord - that was it. uppercase only i guess! thank you so much... i wasted way too much time on that!

[richlv]

good. i added a red note that lowercase letters should not be used; we will probably have to list supported symbols, too
