Hi,
first you can add a system with the needed attributes as a template. After that, use API to get this host information. Important: Use effective_attributes=1
In the jason output you can find the needed attributes.

Tried but devices getting added in SNMP V2 with community.

Got below response from properly added host in snmp v3.

{‘result’: {‘attributes’: {‘ipaddress’: ‘127.0.0.1’, ‘tag_snmp’: ‘snmp-v2’, ‘snmp_community’: (‘noAuthNoPriv’, ‘test1’), ‘tag_agent’: ‘no-agent’}, ‘hostname’: ‘test1’, ‘path’: ‘test’}, ‘result_code’: 0}

I have tried below command. Host added but in Snmp-V2.

curl --insecure “http://10.10.10.10/prod/check_mk/webapi.py?action=add_host&_username=automation&_secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” -d ‘request={“folder”:“test”,“hostname”:“FW238”,“attributes”:{“site”:“prod”,“ipaddress”:“10.10.10.15”,“tag_agent”:“no-agent”,“alias”:“prod-fw”,“tag_snmp”:“snmp-v2”,“snmp_community”:"(‘noAuthNoPriv’, ‘sec1’)"}}’

Is there any issue with command. Please suggest.

Regards,
DD

Hi,

you payload is not ok. Please change tag_snmp to tag_snmp_ds and use a list instead of tuple:

"snmp_community": ["noAuthNoPriv", "sec1"],

Here the working payload:

'request={"folder":"test","hostname":"FW238","attributes":{"site":"demo","ipaddress":"10.10.10.15","tag_agent":"no-agent","alias":"prod-fw","tag_snmp_ds":"snmp-v2","snmp_community":["noAuthNoPriv", "sec1"]}}'

Cheers,

Hi,

I have tried mentioned payload but getting unknown hosttag for tag_snmp_ds.

{“result”: “Check_MK exception: Unknown host tag group snmp_ds”, “result_code”: 1}

I am using 1.5.p021 raw version. Sorry to mentioned it late.

Hi,

please look at the effective attributes to find the correct tag for version 1.5.
