CMK version: 2.1.0p14
OS version: SLES 15.1
Hi. I’m struggeling with the REST-API and time periods. I’d like to create a time period “At night” from 20:00 to 07:00. With checkmk 1.6 I had to put it like this:
20:00-24:00 AND 00:00-07:00
in the GUI and it worked. (20:00-07:00 doesn’t work because “the from time must not be later then the until time”.)
Now with checkmk 2.1 I wanted to use the REST-API to create this time period instead of manipulating the file ~/etc/check_mk/conf.d/wato/timeperiods.mk. But the REST-API rejects the 24:00 and even the sample script from the docs fails. If I try 20:00-00:00, the REST-API doesn’t complain but I don’t think it really works because the GUI won’t let me enter these values.
The snippet:
resp = session.post(
f"{API_URL}/domain-types/time_period/collections/all",
headers={ "Content-Type": 'application/json', },
json={
'name': 'first',
'alias': 'alias',
'active_time_ranges': [{
'day': 'all',
'time_ranges': [
{ 'start': '20:00', 'end': '24:00' },
]
}],
'exceptions': [],
'exclude': []
},
)
Fails with an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./tp.py", line 41, in <module>
raise RuntimeError(pprint.pformat(resp.json()))
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 897, in json
return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/simplejson/__init__.py", line 518, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 370, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 400, in raw_decode
return self.scan_once(s, idx=_w(s, idx).end())
simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
So the problem is: 20:00-24:00 doesn’t work with the REST-API and 20:00-00:00 doesn’t work with the GUI.
Is this a known bug?
