How to add a new template to an existing host

[olistu]

Hi all,

I run the following playbook to add a new template to an existing host but without success.

The playbook:
`- name: Set variables
set_fact:
zabbix_api_token: 60460362b83e4407f76863c40c60f082c375d0ddccdd220108c246f0efc26e2e
ansible_network_os: community.zabbix.zabbix
ansible_connection: httpapi
ansible_httpapi_port: 443
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: true
ansible_host: zabbix.server.ch
ansible_zabbix_url_path: monitoring

• name: Set API token
  set_fact:
  ansible_zabbix_auth_key: "{{ zabbix_api_token }}"

• name: Add template UNIFR RedHat to '{{ var_hosts }}'
  community.zabbix.zabbix_host:
  host_name: "{{ var_hosts }}"
  link_templates:
  - "UNIFR RedHat"
  delegate_to: localhost`

My error :
"msg": "connection error occurred: REST API returned {'code': -32602, 'message': 'Invalid params.', 'data': 'Incorrect arguments passed to function.'} when sending {\"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"host.update\", \"id\": \"8a7590a9-dfd8-4eda-8ea9-14a7e3f51744\", \"params\": {\"hostid\": \"10667\", \"groups\": [{\"groupid\": \"2\"}], \"status\": 0, \"monitored_by\": 0, \"interfaces\": [{\"main\": 1, \"useip\": 1, \"ip\": \"134.21.83.154\", \"dns\": \"\", \"port\": \"10050\", \"interfaceid\": \"97\", \"hostid\": \"10667\", \"type\": 1, \"available\": \"1\", \"error\": \"\", \"errors_from\": \"0\", \"disable_until\": \"0\", \"details\": {\"version\": 2, \"bulk\": 1, \"community\": \"\", \"securityname\": \"\", \"contextname\": \"\", \"securitylevel\": 0, \"authprotocol\": 0, \"authpassphrase\": \"\", \"privprotocol\": 0, \"privpassphrase\": \"\"}}]}, \"auth\": \"60460362b83e4407f76863c40c60f082c375d0ddccdd220108c246f0efc26e2e\"}",

What is wrong ?
I need help.

hi this is my "workaround"

    - name: Get existing host infos from Zabbix Server
      community.zabbix.zabbix_host_info:
        host_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        host_ip: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_host'] }}"
        exact_match: true
        remove_duplicate: true
      register: host_infos

    - name: Add existing template to existing list
      # ansible example: create list from loop
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        new_templates: |-
          [
          {% for item in host_infos.hosts[0].parentTemplates %}
            "{{ item.name }}",
          {% endfor %}
          ]

    - name: Add new template to existing list if missing
      when: "zabbix_template_name not in new_templates"
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        new_templates: "{{ new_templates + [zabbix_template_name] }}"

    - name: Update existing host to add new templates on Zabbix Server
      community.zabbix.zabbix_host:
        host_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        link_templates: "{{ new_templates }}"
        status: enabled

could be improved by something like "when: host_infos..." to make sure we got then and for the correct host too ;)
NOT sure who this behaves with other parameters and it my reapply all template a new with enabled trigger which have been manually disabled
