Export fail at processing "action"

[gjaekel]

I found "your" clone and give it a try. It fail at processing the "action" section. Using the same instance of Zabbix4, the version form https://gitlab.com/devopshq/zabbix-review-export works on this section. But it pull much less content in general, of course.

Please ask if you need more info.

Can you re-check version in "fix-github-issue-5" git branch ?

It is better to run "--debug" with "--only actions" in this case (i.e., last failed object type). Last debug lines isn't very useful, whole debug output is needed (beware: it contains your zabbix password in PLAIN TEXT, cut off first 10-12 lines if you want to drop it). Consider sharing such dump in case of troubles.

Gotcha!

I guess you'll merge it in the master in near future. BTW: IMHO, the plural of macro is macros.

Thank you for your work and fast support, it's extreme valuable for us because in this days we refresh our Zabbix and have to propagate configuration between the test, approval and production stages.

I'm curious about your import script!

[evgkrsk]

Please bear in mind that import code have some known problems (see project's open issues). PR are welcome.

[gjaekel]

I'll test it as an option.

The other way is to "concatenate" some XML files by cutting the individual header and footer and add this to the sum. This may be imported by the GUI dialog afterwards. We will rely on this for the current task to go live from approval to production this week.
