 Description   

Hello, when I'm trying to execute host.get method, faced with error: Invalid parameter "/": unexpected parameter "output".

Request is:

{
  "auth": "blablabla",
  "method": "host.get",
  "output": "extend",
  "params": {
    "filter": {
      "name": [
        "myhostname"
      ]
    }
  },
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

If I remove "output" parameter request executed successfully, but with huge output.

Hello Evgeny,

This looks like misconfiguration
Here is example from documentation https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/reference/host/get#retrieving-linked-templates

{
           "jsonrpc": "2.0",
           "method": "host.get",
           "params": {
               "output": ["hostid"],
               "selectParentTemplates": [
                   "templateid",
                   "name"
               ],
               "hostids": "10084"
           },
           "id": 1
       }

As you can see output should included in prams array, not outside on high level.
I close it as incomplete and won't fix.

Best regards,
Andrei
