Q: What is syntax for specify attributes for CreateHostReqest ?

[tjyang]

@lebe-dev Would you please provide an example of passing interface attributes using vec![] ?

• zabbix api create.host json example
• CreateHostRequest rust code snippet

  
         let request = CreateHostRequest {
              host: host_name,
              groups: vec![host_group],
              interfaces: vec![
                  "type",
                  1,
                  "main",
                  1,
                  "useip",
                  1,
                  "ip",
                  "192.168.3.1",
                  "dns",
                  "",
                  "port",
                  "10050",
              ],
              tags: vec![],
              templates: vec![],
              macros: vec![],
              inventory_mode: 0,
              inventory: Default::default(),
          };

Zabbix API is huge and dynamic (hello from php world), so, I can't implement all possible fields for request struct based on Zabbix API object :) I've implemented just what i needed. But api client methods allows you to implement any structure you want.

Just don't use current CreateHostRequest and implement your own request struct. The only one requirement - your struct should have Serialize:

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct CustomCreateHostRequest {
  // any fields you want
}

Thanks for CustomCreateHostRequest hint. Would you please provide and complete rust code example on specifying interfaces parameters ?

• example code using CustomCreateHostRequest

  
         let request = CustomCreateHostRequest {
              host: host_name,
              groups: vec![host_group],
              interfaces: vec![
                  "type",
                  1,
                  "main",
                  1,
                  "useip",
                  1,
                  "ip",
                  "192.168.3.1",
                  "dns",
                  "",
                  "port",
                  "10050",
              ],
              tags: vec![],
              templates: vec![],
              macros: vec![],
              inventory_mode: 0,
              inventory: Default::default(),
          };

I would implement struct ZabbixInterface with fields you need - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.0/en/manual/api/reference/hostinterface/object

Then implement something like this:

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct CreateHostRequest {
  ...
  pub interfaces: Vec<ZabbixInterface>
  ...
}

Sorry Rust beginner here. I failed to understand. This will be a good beginner home work I guest ;) I have to study on how to use serialize syntax and example.

I am closing this ticket for. I decided to use different approach to do CRUD opts with zabbix API. Thanks.
