Adding host + parameters to Foreman via API

Support
1

Hello,

I am trying to script up adding hosts to Foreman via it's API in a Ruby
script using Rest Client with basic info only for now for ENC purposes.

However we use the Host Parameters and I cannot seem to add these. Although
there is no errors from the script, or API the host is added but no Host
Parameters ?

Basically does this:-
host_create_params = { :host =>
{
:name => "#{host}",
:environment_id => "#{env_id}"
},
:host_parameters_attributes =>
{
:name => "role",
:value => "#{role}"
},
}.to_json
begin
client["hosts"].post "#{host_create_params}", :content_type =>
'application/json'

Any ideas where I might be going wrong please ?

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

Could you try again with them right after the environment (nested in the
host and not after it):
host_create_params = { :host =>
{
:name => "#{host}",
:environment_id => "#{env_id}",
:host_parameters_attributes =>
{
:name => "role",
:value => "#{role}"
}
},
}.to_json

Thanks,
Ori
