Environment

OS: RHEL 8.6 python 3.10.5

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

# cat testing/checkmk-activate-test.yml
---
- name: "Test activation modules."
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: 'no'
  tasks:
    - name: "Create host."
      tribe29.checkmk.host:
        server_url: "{{ server_url }}"
        site: "{{ site }}"
        automation_user: "{{ automation_user }}"
        automation_secret: "{{ automation_secret }}"
        host_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        folder: /gse
        attributes:
          site: "{{ site }}"
        state: present
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: "Discover services on host."
      tribe29.checkmk.discovery:
        server_url: "{{ server_url }}"
        site: "{{ site }}"
        automation_user: "{{ automation_user }}"
        automation_secret: "{{ automation_secret }}"
        host_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        state: "fix_all"
      delegate_to: localhost

    - name: "Pause to review first set of changes."
      ansible.builtin.pause:
        prompt: |
          "Feel free to review the changes in your Checkmk site: {{ site }}."
          "Press <Enter> to continue."

    - name: "Activate changes on site - Showcase no changes."
      tribe29.checkmk.activation:
        server_url: "{{ server_url }}"
        site: "{{ site }}"
        automation_user: "{{ automation_user }}"
        automation_secret: "{{ automation_secret }}"
        force_foreign_changes: 'true'
        sites:
          - "{{ site }}"
      delegate_to: localhost
      run_once: 'true'

Expected behavior

after the discovery task, the state of the site should have at least 1 change and the GUI should show all services for the new host in the "monitored" state.

Actual behavior

The monitored host shows all services as "undecided"

Additional context

While also investigating this collection, I saw this comment in tests:

https://github.com/tribe29/ansible-collection-tribe29.checkmk/blob/6d7e4b5e17dd0097a1ba20d7adda2cdfaeb66ee7/playbooks/test-full.yml#L99

"refresh" is the only method working correctly, currently :-(

See https://jira.lan.tribe29.com/browse/CMK-7200

https://forum.checkmk.com/t/rest-api-issue-regarding-service-discovery/23899/2

[teridon]

So it sounds like the issue is in the REST API (?). If that's the case, do we change the collection to match the current REST API, or leave this issue open until the REST API is fixed? Is the issue only present in older versions of checkmk ? I admit I did not try a later version to see if the REST API is fixed.

[robin-checkmk]

I would have to double-check, but I think this fixed in Checkmk 2.1. You should upgrade to the latest version and test this again. We are always tracking the latest Checkmk release with this collection, so older Checkmk versions might work, but we cannot guarantee that.
