Note that /api/v2/hosts does accept 'environment_id', but that's puppet environment id, not lifecycle environment. If you try to pass lifecycle environment id, you'll receive smth like this:
Received HTTP 500 response: {
  "error": {"message":"ERROR:  insert or update on table \"hosts\" violates foreign key constraint \"hosts_environment_id_fk\"\nDETAIL:  Key (environment_id)=(1637) is not present in table \"environments\".\n"}

Hi,

As part of 6.2 the host unification feature sought to unify hosts and content hosts.  As a result hosts now have 'facets' which contain additional information.  

You will want to modify your PUT request to look like:

PUT /api/v2/hosts/ID

{
  "content_facet_attributes": {
    "lifecycle_environment_id": 123,
    "content_view_id":  456
  }
}


This is not currently documented as part of the apipie params, i will repurpose this bz for that.

Justin,
Thanks for clarification. It's not only about PUT, POST is missing this info too, i'll update bug summary.

Also, just to clarify, user is supposed to pass ids in 'content_facet_attributes', but satellite returns them in 'content' (not 'content_facet_attributes'). Is it expected behavior?

Hi Andrii,

yes that was half technical issue half oversight, i've opened this bz to resolve that issue.  It will not make beta but will make 6.2 GA

Reading back, this appears to be 1/2 answered in the bug and 1/2 solved by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1328139 which is currently ON_QA. I am therefore closing this as NOTABUG. If I have missed anything, please let me know and I will re-open.

This is still a valid bug, as the options are not documented in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1328139

As per comment #3 (and the title change) this bz is still valid for documenting those api options.
