I am trying to do a bulk import of hosts using the Opsview Api.
I have a csv source file with
Host,ip,alias,parent
I am reading in the csv, printing the xml to a file then reading in the
xml file with the api.
I am trying to clone a host but I seem I see this error
## START ERROR SNIPPET
<opsview>
<result>
<detail>Element host failed to validate content
</detail>
<status>XML-INVALID</status>
</result>
## END ERROR
Here is one the test xml files generated
<opsview>
<authentication>
<username>bob</username>
<password>somepass</password>
</authentication>
<host action="create">
<clone><name>ms-va-somehost-ms01</name></clone>
<name>testname2</name>
<ip>10.5.5.6</ip>
<parents>Appdev-sql</parents>
</host></opsview>
Has anyone been able to bulk import hosts with parents included?
I suspect Opsview may be griping because the parents I am referencing
don't exist yet which would make some sense, but then it means my perl
script is going to have to get a bit smarter.
Has anyone else out there already worked through this through, I like
the challenge but I have plenty of other challenges to tackle already.
