Failed import of templates via API. Zabbix 6.0.5

[eithor]

Hi all,

I'm trying to import the standard yaml templates from Zabbix after upgrade to 6.0.5. Since the web gui requires very many clicks to import all the templates, I wanted to use the API.

I've used the pyzabbix api (now in version 1.0, https://github.com/lukecyca/pyzabbix) for exporting templates in yaml or xml format. Using the pyzabbix api for import gives no error messages, a "True" result code fromt he API - but no changes visible in the web. Also, I cannot see anything in the zabbix server logs (at level 3), or zabbix audit-logs. I also tried to export an existing template to xml, change it, then re-import the xml, same result: no errors but also no changes.

I'm calling the pyzabbix like the below code after zapi login, taken from zabbix-gnomes ztmplimport.py and changed to py3 and yaml (it seems that code blocks is not allowing python indents, sorry about that).

Please advice how I can test this further. Anyone else seen the same thing?

Thanks,
Eirik

for template in args.templates:
Continue = True
if Continue:
try:
# open file for reading
with open(template,'r') as f:
yamlfile = f.read()
f.close()
except:
# If the file can't be opened, exit with error
error = "Error: Something went wrong when trying to read the file" + template
PrintError(error)
Continue = False

if Continue:
try:
# verify if the file is a valid YAML
yparse = yaml.safe_load(yamlfile)
except:
# If the file isn't a valid YAML, exit with error
error = "Error: YAML is not valid in " + template
PrintError(error)
Continue = False

if Continue:
try:
# Everything looks good, let's try to import
#result = zapi.configuration.Import(
result = zapi.confimport( confformat="yaml", rules=rules, source=yamlfile)
print(result)
except ZabbixAPIException as e:
print(e)
# Something went wrong with the API call or import
error = "Error: Something went wrong while importing " + \
template + "\n" + str(e) + str(sys.exc_info()[1][0])
PrintError(error)
Continue = False
if args.verbose:
print(("Succesfully imported " + template))

# And we're done...

What does the audit log say (Reports - Audit)?

The audit logs have nothing about items from the template. Just some repeated entries - every 1 or 2 minutes, still ongoing, with the same resource-id and description, different recordset hash, from the System user.

Description: IPMI: CPU1 Temp, C

item.tag[14503]: Updated
item.tag[14503].tag: sensor => component
item.tag[14503].value: temperature => environment
item.tag[82900]: Updated
item.tag[82900].tag: component => sensor
item.tag[82900].value: environment => temperature

Could it be that part of the last template import in web gui is going on in a loop?
