 Description   

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Changes in configuration...
    After upgrade to version 3.4.4 from 3.2 API calls is not working as they are described in documentation.

Result:
Call:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "item.create", "params": {"name": "uhoidla.Summary.Delete","key_": "uhoidla.Summary.Delete", "hostid" :"10254", "description": "Delete / Second", "type": 2, "value_type": 3, "delta": 1, "history":2, "trend":90, "applications": ["1065"], "delay": 60}, "auth": "861486bafe312b8d2cec683cbfc5b9ea", "id": 1}

gives back:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "error": {
    "code": -32602,
    "message": "Invalid params.",
    "data": "Incorrect value for field \"trapper_hosts\": invalid address range \"\"."
  },
  "id": 1
}

Expected:
Acording to documentation, in case of Item Type:2 (trapper), there is no
need for trapper_hosts value.
Also I don't like, that in API version 3.4, there is no possibilities to describe value_type . Now this can be done only manually under PreProcessing tab.

Hello Heino!

Thank you for submitting this issue!

trapper_hosts parameter is indeed mandatory for Trapper item.create, although it can be empty.
Item preprocessing steps are supported through API as per the example given in documentation, although type of preprocessing is not well documented.

Regards,
Oleg

(2) changelog entry does not follow the guidelines - it does not start with a verb in the past tense :

field trapper_hosts changed to optional for trapper item.create

HunterCRS RESOLVED in r77913, r77914
