clone the server in zabbix using api - bash

Question

sorry guys, but i don't know how clone server in zabbix, so please help.
i didn't find the json request with this function in zabbix documentation, so try to create personal script, but when i get items from server and try to add it in new, have this error :
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32602,"message":"Invalid
params.","data":"Item uses host interface from non-parent
host."},"id":1}
thanks
if need of course my code :
create_host() {
a='{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "host.create", "params": { "host": "'$selected_name'", "interfaces": [ { "type": 1, "main": 1, "useip": 1, "ip": "'$IP'", "dns": "", "port": "10050" } ], "groups": [ { "groupid": "1" } ], "templates": [ { "templateid": "10001" } ], "inventory": { "macaddress_a": "01234", "macaddress_b": "56768" } }, "auth": "'$AUTH_TOKEN'", "id": 1 }'
wget -O- -o /dev/null $API --no-check-certificate --header 'Content-Type: application/json-rpc' --post-data "$a"
}
push_items() {
id_of_host=`echo $3 | tr -d ']' | tr -d '[u' | sed -s "s/'//g"`
echo "name"$1
echo "key"$2
request_push='{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "item.create",
"params": {
"name": "'$1'",
"key_": "'$2'",
"hostid": "'$id_of_host'",
"type": 10,
"value_type": 0,
"interfaceid": "2",
"delay": 300
},
"auth": "'$AUTH_TOKEN'",
"id": 1
}'
wget -O- -o /dev/null $API --no-check-certificate --header 'Content-Type: application/json-rpc' --post-data "$request_push"
}
get_items() {
request='{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "item.get",
"params": {
"output": ["name", "key_"],
"host": "'$ETALON_SERVER'",
"sortfield": "name"
},
"auth": "'$AUTH_TOKEN'",
"id": 1
}'
wget -O- -o /dev/null $API --no-check-certificate --header 'Content-Type: application/json-rpc' --post-data "$request"
}
AUTH_TOKEN=$(authenticate)
if [ -z "$AUTH_TOKEN" ]; then
echo "Connection not established"
exit 1
else
echo "everything is ok"
echo $AUTH_TOKEN
fi
check_host=$(check_exist_host)
host_create=$(create_host)
#echo "$host_create"
id_host=`echo "$host_create" | python -c 'import json, sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["result"]["hostids"]'`
items=$(get_items)
#echo $items

while IFS='[;]' read -r s1 s2; do
name_item=$s1
item_key=$s2
push_items "$s1" "$s2" "$id_host"
done < <(printf "%b" "${keys//|/\\n}")

As old as this question is, it still comes up in the top search results...
The API doesn't allow host.clone() because it's supposed to be performed through host.get() and host.create(), depending on your needs. The following code clones
host name
host visible name
first IP address
groups, adding a new one (static ID)
macros
and changes
templates (statid ID)
The old host is renamed and disabled, in order to maintain data history.
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI
ZAPI = ZabbixAPI(api_url)
ZAPI.login(username, password)
batch_list = [
"host1-asdasd",
"host2-asdasd"
]
for hostname in batch_list:
try:
original_host = ZAPI.host.get(
filter={'host': hostname},
selectGroups='extend',
selectInterfaces='extend',
selectMacros='extend'
)[0]
disable = ZAPI.host.update(
hostid=original_host['hostid'],
status=1,
host=original_host['host'] + '-history',
name=original_host['name'] + ' (history)'
)
print(disable)
clone = ZAPI.host.create(
host=original_host['host'],
name=original_host['name'],
proxy_hostid=original_host['proxy_hostid'],
groups=original_host['groups'] + [{'groupid': 802}],
macros=original_host['macros'],
interfaces=[{'main': '1', 'type': '1', 'useip': '1', 'dns': '', 'port': '10050', 'bulk': '1',
'ip': original_host['interfaces'][0]['ip']}],
templates={'templateid': 25708}
)
print(clone)
except:
print('something went wrong with: ' + hostname)
