 Description   

When we create a host trough the API the JSON-error "no such error" is generated:

JSON request that is sent:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"host.create","params":{"host":"store3.internal.test","interfaces":[

{"type":"2","main":"1","useip":"1","ip":"192.168.17.210","dns":"","port":"161"}

,

{"type":"1","main":"1","useip":"1","ip":"192.168.17.210","dns":"","port":"10050"}

,

{"type":"1","main":"0","useip":"1","ip":"172.16.80.26","dns":"","port":"10050"}

],"groups":

{"groupid":"6"}

,"templates":[

{"templateid":"10047"}

,

{"templateid":"10134"}

,

{"templateid":"10130"}

,

{"templateid":"10049"}

]},"auth":"24aedcb501e25f50eac653fe183c6708","id":1}

(all templateid's, groupid's and auth.hash are valid)

Received:
Got response from API: ({"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":

{"code":-32400,"message":"System error.","data":"JSON-rpc error generation failed. No such error \"\"."}

,"id":1}) Response decoded: (Array ( [jsonrpc] => 2.0 [error] => Array ( [code] => -32400 [message] => System error. [data] => JSON-rpc error generation failed. No such error "". ) [id] => 1 )

When I shorten the name to store3 and run it again, the host is succesfully added.
(With the Zabbix php-frontend I can create a host with the name store3.internal.test and same templates/groups without issue).

Is there a limitation on the hostname length for the host.create method?
If my JSON is faulty, it would be nice to have an error different than just "System Error".

Thanks for checking this out.

if you enable frontend debug for your user, create a host and view the debug, does the json, generated by the frontend, differ from yours significantly ?

(note that "JSON-rpc error generation failed" must be fixed anyway, of course)

richlv, how do I enable the frontend debug?
and where can I view the JSON output?

I've tried to add this host again and now I accually do get an error:

Value "'{store3.belgovault.internal:IfOut.[\"

{#SNMPINDEX}\"].last(0)}>{$MAXOUT}&{store3.belgovault.internal:IPAdrEntIP.[\"{#SNMPINDEX}

\"].regexp(@PublicIP)}&{store3.belgovault.internal:IfOut.[\"

{#SNMPINDEX}\"].time(0)}>{$TRAFFICSTOP}&{store3.belgovault.internal:IfOut.[\"{#SNMPINDEX}

\"].time(0)}<{$TRAFFICSTART}'" is too long for field "expression" - 295 characters. Allowed length is 255 characters. [CHost.create -> CHost.massAdd -> CTemplate.massAdd -> CTemplate.link -> CTriggerPrototype.syncTemplates -> CTriggerGeneral.inherit -> CTriggerGeneral.inheritOnHost -> CTriggerPrototype.createReal -> DB.insert -> DB.checkValueTypes]

So there is accually a limit to the hostname lenght if you have long trigger statements.
Can this be altered?

I am using a Debian (6.0.4) with MySQL (Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.61, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.1)
+ Zabbix 2.0.0rc2 (revision 26343)
