Add notes via add_items_from_csv.pl with hosts already added

[afrazee]

I am trying to add notes to existing hosts via a csv file. Here is what my csv file looks like:

Code: Select all

host_name,notes
xxx.xxx.com,"latlng: 00.354174999999998,-00.818301000000005"

and when i run it in simulation mode it says:

Code: Select all

[INFO]  Running in simulation mode. No modifications will be made to the database!
[INFO]  Started executing /var/www/nconf/bin/add_items_from_csv.pl
[INFO]  CSV syntax found in file header. Using it.
[INFO]  Adding host 'xxx.xxx.com'
[WARN]  host with host_name 'xxx.xxx.com' already exists!
[ERROR] Failed to add host 'xxx.xxx.com'. Aborting

Is there a way to just update the notes field while already having host_name already existing? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I have come up with my own solution, I am doing it via php/mysql, here is how I did it:

Code: Select all

$result_nconfdb_autoadd_lat_and_long = mysql_query("REPLACE INTO ConfigValues (attr_value, fk_id_attr, fk_id_item) VALUES ('latlng: 00.354174999999998,-00.818301000000005', '24', '$fk_id_item_var')");

attr_value = what you want notes to have
fk_id_attr = 24 = notes
fk_id_item = each host has an unique fk_id_item, i have not presented how I determined this, but could be done easily.

Maybe this will help someone in the future, thanks
