cli add_device.php problem

Post by johnrembo »

:-? can not assign "none" template:

Code: Select all

php add_device.php --description=NYC.M.3 --ip=172.1.2.1 --version=2 --community=public --port=161 --timeout=500
Unknown template id (-1)

Code: Select all

php add_device.php --description=NYC.M.3 --ip=172.1.2.1 --template=0 --version=2 --community=public --port=161 --timeout=500
Unknown template id (0)
wonder why, because hosts, whoose host templates were marked as "none" on all previous releases, had host_template_id=0 in sql database.

it works perfectly affter upgrading getHostTemplates() at api_automation_tools.php:
#137: $host_templates[0]="None";

(not sure this is a right way of doing this)

Never thought of this. So, you would like "None" to be the default?

TheWitness
Yes, I think "none" should be assigned by default if not defined.
Well, at least, there should be a possibility to manualy assign "none" template as all others.

1 more question. As far as I have managed to find-out, current add_graphs.php release is capable of adding only snmp-based graphs(data-sources).
Are there any plans of expanding this script to support data-input-methods as well?

If no work has been done yet on this subject (and there is a demand from the community side), I could merge add_graphs.php with some of my API, which currently supports not only snmp-query based DS, but handles data-input-methods as well.

Send me the code. I am still working on this right now to allow the specification of custom input fields on non-dq graphs. They are currently supported, but there needs to be a few more enhancements to complete the picture.
