 Description   

"auth":"0000000000000000000000000000","method":"maintenance.create","id":1,"params":{"hosts":[

{"hostid":"10052"}

],"description":"test","active_since":"1286576441","active_till":"1286590656","name":"test","maintenance_type":"0"},"jsonrpc":"2.0"

(with the auth obviously changed)gives an error

[ CMaintenance::create ] At least one host or group should be selected.

10052 definitely exists:

mysql> select hostid,host from hosts where hostid="10052";
-----------------------+

hostid host

-----------------------+

10052 tamarao.tvo.org

-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Also, I can't seem to specify the maintenance period, is this a feature request or a documentation bug?

i seem to get the same on trunk
also, example at http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/api/maintenance/create shows comma after the only host id - api returns "Invalid JSON. An error occurred on the server while parsing the JSON text." in such a case

1.8.5 also affected. Get Error -32500: Application error., [ CMaintenance::create ] At least one host or group should be selected

patch for maintenance.create

Comment by Paul [ 2011 Jun 07 ]

I applied the patch, thank you. I tried on both 1.8.3 and 1.8.5 and the maintenance window gets created, but no period is created. I am creating a second issue for this in ZBX-3867.

Comment by Paul [ 2011 Jun 08 ]

I should have specified, this is a blocker. The API call doesn't work at all.

Comment by Alexey Fukalov [ 2011 Jun 09 ]

It seems that api docs had example with error. Correct example is:
"params":[

{ "groupids":[], "hostids":["100100000010229"], "name":"ZABBIX Servers", "maintenance_type":"0", "description":"", "active_since":"1276163035", "active_till":"1307698980" }

]
groups -> groupids, hosts -> hostids, and its not object just arrays of ids.

Comment by Paul [ 2011 Jun 09 ]

I have confirmed this documentation fix applies to 1.8.3 and 1.8.5, I expect it applies to all versions.

ZBX-3867 is still an issue though.
