icinga2 Provider, Host resource bug

[hashibot]

This issue was originally opened by @robrankin as hashicorp/terraform#14819. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

The Icinga2 Host resource creates an Icinga2 Host object as follows:

object Host "host" {
    action_url = ""
    address = "192.168.1.1"
    address6 = ""
    check_command = "hostalive"
    display_name = ""
    groups = null
    notes = ""
    notes_url = ""
    templates = null
    vars = {
        something = "blart"
    }
    version = 1495628446.109900
    zone = "master"
}

The groups = null syntax does not appear to be valid. When attempting to use Icinga2's group assign functionality, assign where, to assign the above Host object to Hostgroup object, the groups = null entry causes Icinga2 to segfault.

As far as I can tell so far it's only acceptable for the groups parameter to have a non-empty list of 1 or more members.

groups = ["",] does not work for example.

This has been vendor'd out to a release which did not require it. Also https://github.com/lrsmith/go-icinga2-api has been modified and versioned as v0.2.x to support not requiring having groups. So this should be resolved.

@lrsmith I'm running into the groups = null error when trying to create hosts in Icinga. I see it looks like you fixed in the underlying go-icinga2-api library - did this not get released yet in the provider?

[rayterrill]

@lrsmith Any word on this one mate?

[lrsmith]

@rayterrill This has been merged into master ( https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-icinga2/pull/14 ) but a release has not been cut yet for it. I hope to cut a release soon with all the recent PRs.

[jc1arke]

@lrsmith any news on a new release?

[lrsmith]

@jc1arke @rayterrill I am working on getting a new release. Right now the build pipeline is failing and I'm don't have the needed permissions to make the needed changes and I'm working to get the needed changes made.

[lrsmith]

Should be resolved with todays 0.2.0 release
