Summary
On St2 test and corp, the custom workflow fails because of the error: “error”: “Non-hexadecimal digit found” on “task_id”: “get_z_hostid”
Steps to Reproduce the error.
-
Login to St2 and run automation.zabbix.host.global_update action.
-
Input a device’s FQDN and run the action.
What Is the Current Unexpected Behavior?
The automation.zabbix.host.global_update fails to complete due to an error with either Python, St2, or Zabbix.
What is the Correct Behavior?
The custom workflow in St2 completes, devices are updated, and correct in Netbox.

Troubleshooting that has been tried.
-
Because the error initially reported that a non-hexadecimal digit was found with a service account, A password change was completed to remove any non-hexadecimal characters. - This did not work.
-
Configured the Zabbix pack to use credentials in plaintext and that worked but an unacceptable fix as the password is in plaintext.
-
Installing pip and pycrypto, reloading St2 with the command sudo st2ctl restart - This did not work.
-
Generated a token to update the Zabbix pack to version 0.3.0 - This did not work.
-
Updating the gcc complier version to version 9 per Github issue from St2 Dev and Ubuntu commands to update gcc for Ubuntu 16.04 - This did not work.
