[RFE] : updating host (like inventory_mode or others fields)

Open arrfab opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hi

There is a already the update_host_inventory function which exists and permits to easily update anything in inventory for a host as long as we know the key and so value to update. Example : update_host_inventory <host_id> location_lat 54.1

But the problem is that by default, host object itself is created in zabbix with inventory_mode set to -1 (disabled , see https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/reference/host/object)

So can a update_host function be plumbed to just allow to first modify host in a key/value pair (like for update_host_inventory) and so updating (for example) inventory_mode ?

I don't mind writing my own other script for that first (I had to do that for the PSK change ) but it would be better if it was all managed by zabbix-cli

Thanks a lot for zabbix-cli : it helps a lot automating a server fleet with ansible :)
