Ability to import host via command line

[tdondich]

Mass amounts of servers need to be imported, is there a way to import from command line?

This is a great feature request. Sounds very good. For the CLI, we'd need ability to add/manage/remove objects. I'd like some help defining the command line interface for this. Should all parameters be provided on the command line, or should there be some sort of text file it reads as input, or should it accept some sort of object definition from STDIN?

Can you help provide a stab at requirements for the CLI and how you think it should work?

run from command line something like the following

./addhost -h hostname -a alias -g group -t template

if host exist...spit out already exist.
if group does not exist spit out error
might want to also add a -ag for add group if dont exist. we have domains that show up and disapear from time to time and would be great to autocreat groups on that.

I try to keep all services attached to the hostgroup so i dont have to do any service imports for a particular service.

./cleanhostgroup -g groupname

my feeling here is that i do a ldapsearch for each server we have or do an export of each server from an external database...if i clean out the host before import, deleted server are automatically removed in this manner.
