zabbix_action - proxy.get - Invalid parameter "/filter": unexpected parameter "host". (Issue with proxy.get and zabbix 7.0)

[ben-dataraven]

SUMMARY

In filter expressions, zabbix_action.py still references the proxyname as host, where Zabbix 7.0 now expects the proxyname to be referenced as name (see https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/api/changes, specifically api changes related to ZBXNEXT-8500)

This causes community.zabbix.zabbix_action to fail whenever it tries to lookup zabbix proxy details.

Changing "filter": {"host": [proxy_name]} to "filter": {"name": [proxy_name]} in zabbix_action.py (line 1018) "fixes" the issue

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Use the community.zabbix.zabbix_action module to add an autoregistration action (based on zabbix_proxy)

- name: Prepare Zabbix Server for the Proxy (using the API)
  hosts: zabbix_proxies
  become: false
  vars:
    ansible_network_os: community.zabbix.zabbix
    ansible_connection: httpapi
    ansible_httpapi_port: 443
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true
    ansible_host: "{{ zabbix_api_server_url }}"
    ansible_zabbix_url_path: ''
  tasks:
    - name: Setup autoregistration action to automatically populate zabbix groups
      community.zabbix.zabbix_action:
        name: "Add {{ zabbix_proxy_hostname }} autoregistered hosts to groups"
        event_source: auto_registration
        state: present
        status: enabled
        esc_period: 60
        conditions:
          - type: proxy
            operator: "="
            value: "{{ zabbix_proxy_hostname }}"
        operations:
          - type: add_to_host_group
            host_groups:
              - "Site/SITENAME"
