 Description   

Hello,

I updated zabbix with 1.8.4, I am using php scripts to do various things through APIs using zabbix-1-8-api-php-class-v1-0 from Andrew Farley. I can't get working one of them which creates macros at host level.

API complains that macro begins with { ??

Thanks for help
Alain

Below is the php code ...........

ZabbixAPI::query('usermacro','massAdd',array('host s'=>array('hostid'=>"$hid"),'macros'=>array('macro '=>"{\$ALERTLOGPATH}",'value'=>"/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump/alert_XE.log")))
or die('Unable to update: '.print_r(ZabbixAPI::getLastError(),true));

Below is the Debug Output .............

i'm trying with the following :
$ss='{$ALE01}';
$macr =ZabbixAPI::fetch_array('usermacro','massAdd',array(

'macros'=>array(
'macro'=>$ss,
'value'=>'E.logi'),

'hosts'=>array('hostid'=>'10558')
))

but i've got :

,"id":1})

you could try doublequoting the actual macro;

alain seems to have an extra trailing space in the macro : "{$ALERTLOGPATH} "

Comment by Joe Black [ 2012 Aug 03 ]

Stuck with this for a few hours... you have to pass an array of macros:
'macros'=>array(array(
'macro'=>$ss,
'value'=>'E.logi')),

Comment by Alexey Fukalov [ 2012 Aug 24 ]

In 2.0 version massAdd method was removed.
You can create new macro for host using params like:
[
{
"hostid": "10093",
"macro": "{$ALERTLOGPATH}",
"value": "eeeeeeeee"
}
]
