                          "useip" : 1,
                          "type" : 2

                        }

It seems that in order for inventory_mode to work, we also need to specify a non-empty inventory object, like so:

{
    "host": "ZBX-11020-6",
    "interfaces": [
        {
            "dns": "",
            "ip": "127.0.0.1",
            "main": 1,
            "port": "10050",
            "type": 1,
            "useip": 1
        }
    ],
    "groups": [
        "2"
    ],
    "inventory": {
        "macaddress_a": "11:22:33:44:55:66"
    },
    "inventory_mode": "1"
}

It should probably not be required.

Fixed for version 3.0 in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-11020-30 .

Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 03 ]

Fix for version 2.2 is in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-11020 .

Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 03 ]

There are some questions remaining (like why "inventory_mode" defaults to "disabled" if an empty "inventory" is specified, as opposed to "manual" for non-empty "inventory"), but this should probably be handled in ZBX-6033.

(2) Minor coding style fix for 2.2 in r62085. Please, review.

asaveljevs Thank you! CLOSED.

TESTED,

but close (2) before merging.

Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 31 ]

Merged in pre-2.2.15rc1 r62105, pre-3.0.5rc1 r62107, and pre-3.2.0beta2 (trunk) r62109.

Comment by Aleksandrs Saveljevs [ 2016 Aug 31 ]

(3) We missed the new array syntax in 2.2 branch. Fixed that in 2.2 directly in r62120:

-    $hostInventory = [];
+    $hostInventory = array();

Verified by iivs. CLOSED.
