Api to create host... Doubts

Support
1

In GUI to create an host with Foreman we must pass to network interface his
name. Which field it rappresente for Foreman Api?

It is correct this example??

"{"host": {" +
""name": "" + host.getName() + "","+ //'host_api'
""hostgroup_id": 1,"+
""environment_id": " + environmentid + ","+
""architecture_id": 1,"+
""mac": "","+
""compute_resource_id": " + host.getComputeResourceId() + ","+ //7
""build": 0,"+ // What is this field??
""enabled": " + host.getIsEnabled() + ","+ //0 //What is this field??
""managed": 0,"+ //What is this field??
""compute_attributes": {"+
""cpus": " + host.getCpu() + ","+ //1
""cluster": ""+ host.getCluster() + "","+ //'Provisioning'
""start": " + host.getIsStarted() + ","+ //0
""path": "" + host.getPathDataCenter() + "","+ //'' //What is this
field??
""interfaces_attributes": {"+
""new_interfaces": {"+
""_delete": "","+
""network": "nic1""+ //is this??
"},"+
""0": {"+
""_delete": "","+
""network": "" + host.getNetwork() + """+ //virtualmachine
"}"+
"},"+
""volumes_attributes": {"+
""new_volumes": {"+
""name": "Hard disk","+
""size_gb": " + host.getHardDiskVolume() + ","+ //8
""_delete": "","+
""datastore": "" + host.getDatastore() + """+ //'provisioning1' //are
the same??
"},"+
""0": {"+
""name": "Hard disk","+
""size_gb": " + host.getHardDiskSize() + ","+ //8
""_delete": "","+
""datastore": "" + host.getDatastore() + """+ //provisioning1 //are the
same??
"}"+
"},"+
""memory_mb": " + host.getRam() +""+ //256
"}"+
"}"+
"}";

I don't know what are the following fields: build, enabled, managed, path,
network (is it the name?), datastore.
The field "provisioningTemplate" where is??

Thanks in advance for your support.

Most of Foreman's default's are fairly sane - here's the Hash I send to
create a Libvirt host:

host_hash = {
  "host" => {
    "name"                => @hostname,
    "hostgroup_id"        => hostgroup_info['id'],
    "compute_resource_id" => compute_resource_id,
    "location_id"         => @location,
    "organization_id"     => @organisation,
    "architecture_id"     => architecture_id,
    "operatingsystem_id"  => operatingsystem_id,
    "build"               => 1,
    "compute_attributes"  => {
      "volumes_attributes" => {
        "0" => {
          "format_type" => "raw",
          "capacity"    => @disk_size,
          "pool_name"   => "default",
        },
      },
      "nics_attributes" => {
        "0" => { "bridge"  => @net_dev },
      },
      "start"=>"1",
      "memory"=>"536870912",
      "cpus"=>"1",
    },
  },
}

I'm not sure if you mean the DNS name for the secondary interfaces in the
Network tab (in which case I don't know the answer, as I'm only creating
one interface), or the name of the virtual network to connect a NIC to. If
it's the latter, you'll note that the network name is specified as part of
[host][compute_attributes][nics_attributes][0].

As to your other questions:

I don't know what are the following fields: build, enabled, managed, path,
> network (is it the name?), datastore.
>

Managed: Should Foreman manage the install on this host, or just recieve
Puppet reports?
Enabled: Should Foreman send Notifications for this host?
Build: Should Foreman install this Host now or just let it boot from disk?
Path/Network/Datastore: I think these are hypervisor-specific, I don't need
them for Libvirt, but you might for something else.

The field "provisioningTemplate" where is??
>

The choice of provisioning template is determined from the combination of
Operatingsystem, Environment, and Hostgroup - it's not requested explicitly
in the Host creation data.

Hope that heps,
Greg

Thanks for your help it is very apprecieted, but I have another problem.

I solve this problem, it was a syntax error. Thanks for all.
