Thruk Business Process REST API

[cdiamantis]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build a Python automation where some Business Processes will be created on Thruk via the Rest API.
The thing is that the documentation is pretty poor an the only thing I am seeing is the below:

POST /thruk/bp
create new business process.

I have tried to capture the requests by Developer Tools on my browser in order to match the parameters needed to pass onto the POST request sent onto Thruk and I do see the below response from Thruk:

However, the BP is not created correctly on Thruk.

Kind Regards,

There are some examples in the test scenarios, ex. here:

• Thruk/plugins/plugins-available/business_process/t/bp_cli.t

  Line 37 in 2e8a582

  cmd => $BIN.' r -d @t/xt/business_process/data/9999.tbp -D id='.($bpid+$x).' -D name=Test_'.($bpid+$x).' -m POST /thruk/bp',

  
  The datastructure should be the same as the actual bp files on disk. So it might be a good approach to create one BP manually and then have a look at the tbp file in the var/thruk/bp folder.

The documentation is automatically created based on https://github.com/sni/Thruk/blob/master/plugins/plugins-available/business_process/lib/Thruk/Controller/Rest/V1/bp.pm#L53
Would be great if you could add your findings there.
