Problem Copied

OP5 Monitor HTTP API creates object entries in the wrong file_id (etc/timeperiods.cfg) instead of the one that is specified for it.

For example, when running the following Curl command:

curl -ik -u 'USER:PASSWORD' -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"host_name":"HOSTNAME","template":"default-service","service_description":"test-svc1","check_command":"check_tcp","file_id":"etc/services.cfg","check_command_args":"22"}' https://localhost/api/config/service

The resulting service will be created in etc/timeperiods.cfg instead of the specified file_id of etc/services.cfg.
