Error message: Rule is managed by Quick setup

Hi all,

we are currently testing a script which we use in checkmk 2.3 to Add / modify / delete some checkmk rules.

During the tests with checkmk 2.4.0p8 we noticed that we can’t change conditions.

For troubleshooting I have created a new rule Service Label rule in the UI:

  "domainType": "rule",
  "id": "5a523de7-a920-41d8-a78c-7fbfab9053a3",
  "title": "",
  "members": {},
  "extensions": {
    "ruleset": "service_label_rules",
    "folder": "/",
    "folder_index": 0,
    "properties": {
      "disabled": false
    },
    "value_raw": "{'testlabel': 'thomas'}",
    "conditions": {
      "host_tags": [],
      "host_label_groups": [],
      "service_label_groups": [],
      "service_description": {
        "match_on": [
          "test"
        ],
        "operator": "one_of"
      }
    }
  }

When I change the condition and send the following payload to the API endpoint (/api/1.0/objects/rule/):

{"properties": {
            "disabled": false
    },
    "value_raw": "{'testlabel': 'thomas'}",
    "conditions": {
      "host_tags": [],
      "host_label_groups": [],
      "service_label_groups": [],
      "service_description": {
        "match_on": [
          "test1"
        ],
        "operator": "one_of"
      }
    }
}

I’m getting the following error:

{
  "title": "Rule is managed by Quick setup",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "Conditions cannot be modified for rules managed by Quick setup."
}

Modifiying the value_raw, comment and description of the same rule with the API endpoint works fine, the error occurs only when the condition is changed.

I can reproduce this with Service Label rules and Service Level rules.

As a workaround, we can delete and create the rule with the REST API, but has someone an idea what this error message means and if there is a workaround available so that we can change the condition directly in one API call?

Best Regards
Thomas

@wontekh “managed by quick setup”? is that a sign of a package as you described it for 2.4?

There was indeed an issue on the REST API side. This should be fixed with Werk 17957. Thanks for bringing this up
