Creating new hosts using curl via api
Been trying to create a new host in Satellite 6 via curl command, just testing this out to verify it works and be able to help our developers who will be calling the API from remote Enterprise systems to create hosts in a automated fashion.
Not many examples can be found, and I get it. The payload produced will vary greatly based on the data you have placed in your satellite server (organizations/environments/hostgroups/locations/,,,, )
I put the below together, but when i attempt to post the payload via curl, I receive a rather perplexing error message.
I know that hammer is a great tool, I used it to help me put together the payload file below. But really need to better understand the payload requirements/format, so I can better explain them to my developers.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Or is this simply a Satellite Bug, that I should open a case for?
# cat payload.json {"host": {"name":"myhost.mydomain.com", "location_id":2, "organization_id":1, "environment_id":1, "architecture_id":1, "operatingsystem_id":7, "medium_id":15, "ptable_id":127, "hostgroup_id":13, "build":true, "enabled":true, "provision_method":"build", "managed":true, "compute_attributes":{ "volumes_attributes":{} }, "content_facet_attributes":{}, "subscription_facet_attributes":{}, "overwrite":true, "host_parameters_attributes":{}, "interfaces_attributes":[ [0],{ "primary":"true", "provision":"true", "mac":"00:17:ab:cd:12:34", "ip":"192.168.200.20"}], "root_pass":"RaNdOm_ChArAcTeRs"}}
# json_verify ./payload.json JSON is valid
# curl -s -k -u USER:PASS -d @payload.json -H "Content-Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://sat6.mydomain.com/api/v2/hosts { "error": {"message":"no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer"} }
