Creating a host

Create a host with the JSON format.

After logon, create a Host element in the JSON format with the following request:

POST http://localhost:8082/7.1/elements/host
Request body:
{
        "name": "mySrc1",
        "comment": "My SMC API's my Src Host 1",
        "address": "192.168.0.13",
        "secondary": ["10.0.0.156"]
}

The request returns a 201 HTTP response status code and the following in the Location HTTP header:

http://localhost:8082/7.1/elements/host/1704

See createHostThenDeleteIt.py JSON or XML samples.

The system prevents you from creating an element without a unique name.

If you try to create an element with an existing name, you receive a 404 HTTP error status code and the following error message:

    {
        "details":
        [
            "Element name fra-hide is already used."
        ],
        "message": "Impossible to store the element fra-hide."
    }
