Right now, for adding new hosts or services, is there any way to say "dont require fields" so I can supply a template so I don't get

Code: Select all

{
    "error": "Missing required variables",
    "missing": [
        "max_check_attempts",
        "check_period",
        "notification_interval",
        "notification_period",
        "contacts OR contact_groups"
    ]
}

I really want to use the API for something I am doing, but I have to be able to use templates and not require those fields as they are all supplied by templates.

EDIT: I guess I could write the host cfg to the import folder, use the API to run the import, then write the services file and do the import again as a work around, but using the curl commands would be awesome!

That is actually a good point. I'll add something here for this because you can use the "use" attribute.

Edit: Added a parameter to pass called "force" so you can add &force=1 to skip the check.

Also for the services as well since we can use a template there please

You can close this thread.

It'll be in there for both of them this coming release (this week).
