update host via zabbix api

[borei74]

Hi, First of all thank you for such great module, it's one of the key-part in my infrastructure and saved me tons of time to manage zabbix on all hosts. There are one thing (probably bug im hitting) - update existing host in zabbix. As for example i was changing set of templates assigned to the host. Im working with exported resources. Once templates set was updated and pushed to puppetdb first run of puppet on the zabbix web server generate the following output:

Error: Could not set 'present' on ensure: Server answer API error

} at 27:/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/zabbix/manifests/resources/agent.pp

after that i removed existing in zabbix host web-be00.se-core.domain.com, and run puppet agent again:

Error: Could not set 'present' on ensure: host not supplied in call to get_id at 27:/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/zabbix/manifests/resources/agent.pp
Error: Could not set 'present' on ensure: host not supplied in call to get_id at 27:/etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/zabbix/manifests/resources/agent.pp

but after that run host was added into zabbix

third run produced no errors.

Main problem as i see - host update functionality doesn't work as expected.

Please let me know if i need to provide more technical details or run any types of tests.
