Is this fixed in API v2, Joseph?

right, thats a limitation of the current v1 api, have a look for a few examples (or wait for V2 of the api in 1.2).

Hi there
I still get the problem when trying to update hte hostgroup:
Foreman Version Version 1.2.0 © 2009-2013 Paul Kelly and Ohad Levy
curl http://myhost.myddomain/foreman/api/hostgroups/102?format=json {"hostgroup":{"operatingsystem_id":null,"subnet_id":null,"label":"apitest","puppetclass_ids":[],"environment_id":4,"ancestry":null,"name":"apitest","id":102,"parameters":{"apit_java_version":"1.9.9","apit_appl_version":"0.0.1"},"domain_id":null}}[
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json;version=2" -d '{"hostgroup":{"id":102,"ancestry":null,"puppetclass_ids":[],"sest","domain_id":null,"label":"apitest","parameters":{"apit_appl_version":"102","apit_java_version":"1.9.9"},"environment_id":4}}' http://myhost.mydomain/foreman/api/hostgroups {"error":{"message":"unknown attribute: parameters"}}
The exampe from Ohad is incorrect, parameters in hostgroups do not have an id.
Any idea ?
Regards
Axel

Me again
I changed my RESTClient to use PUT instead of POST. Now I get HTTP 200 and OK but nothing changed

Hi
I thried with curl and PUT again:
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json;version=2" -d '{"hostgroup":{"id":102,"ancestry":null,"puppetclass_ids":[],"subnet_id":null,"operatingsystem_id":null,"name":"apitest","domain_id":null,"label":"apitest","parameters":{"apit_appl_version":"102","apit_java_version":"1.9.9"},"environment_id":4}}' http://dezulititt25.emea.porsche.biz/foreman/api/hostgroups/102/
{"error":{"message":"unknown attribute: parameters"}}
Logentry:
Processing by Api::V1::HostgroupsController#update as JSON
Parameters: {"hostgroup"=>{"parameters"=>{"apit_java_version"=>"1.9.9", "apit_appl_version"=>"102"}, "name"=>"apitest", "puppetclass_ids"=>nil, "environment_id"=>4, "subnet

Got it !
Here my Howto:
First get the ID of the hostgroup:
curl -X GET -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" http://myhost/foreman/api/hostgroups/apitest
Returns:
{"hostgroup":{"operatingsystem_id":null,"subnet_id":null,"label":"apitest","puppetclass_ids":[],"environment_id":4,"ancestry":null,"name":"apitest",*"id":102*,"parameters":{"apit_java_version":"Blubb","apit_appl_version":"Huustegudsje"},"domain_id":null}}
Next get all parameters of hostgroup:
curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json;version=2" -H "Content-type: application/json" http://myhost/foreman/api/hostgroups/102/parameters?format=json
{"parameters":[{"parameter":{"value":"Blubb","name":"apit_java_version","id":4529}},{"parameter":{"value":"Huustegudsje","name":"apit_appl_version","id":4530}}]}
That's what we need: the ID of the parameter
Now send back the modified parameter:
curl -X PUT -H "Accept: application/json,version=2" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"parameter":{"id":4530,"name":"apit_appl_version","value":"CHANGED !!!!"}}' http://myhost/foreman/api/hostgroups/102/parameters/*4530*?format=json
{"parameter":{"value":"CHANGED !!!!","name":"apit_appl_version","id":4530}}
You can omit the id in the json object.
curl -X PUT -H "Accept: application/json,version=2" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"parameter":{"name":"apit_appl_version","value":"CHANGED again!!!!"}}' http://myhost/foreman/api/hostgroups/102/parameters/4530?format=json
Cheers

If someone is interested, i attach a ruby example for this.
The script expects three variables if you run it.
1.) group the host belongs to
2.) parameter name
3.) the value you want to become permanent.
