Hi Martin, The details argument for this API is a map, CloudMonkey simply wraps given arguments and creates a HTTP request so for maps it's always been a syntax like map[0].key=value. The usage of maps has been documented here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+cloudmonkey+CLI#CloudStackcloudmonkeyCLI-Argumentpassing
This has not changed since 4.1/4.2. You may also debug by tailing cloudmonkey logs if you get further issues: tail -f ~/.cloudmonkey/log Though I think it's a good idea to automatically add this weird syntax so users can pass maps directly as map.key=value (your syntax). I'll see what I can do to fix this :) Regards.

I try to deploy a virtual machine with a custom offering via the API. But I get "401 unable to verify user credentials and/or request signature". First I thought my signing code is wonky (although it worked fine for over a year now)... But if I use cloudmonkey I get the same: (local) > deploy virtualmachine zoneid=e99e796c-4e5c-4549-a0d7-ddd3d8526c06 domainid=5b6fbb96-db68-11e3-86e7-0030487e0d0c name=martin1 serviceofferingid=d16eb08f-ad36-496e-a7bd-b5e43f104ce6 details.cpuSpeed=1000 details.Memory=1024MB details.cpuNumber=2 networkids=0ba76ecd-39cf-403e-bbf7-68e4c44e43ac templateid=dc3c32ca-21a2-46a4-83f1-229d83b0588d Error 401 Authentication error errorcode = 401 errortext = unable to verify user credentials and/or request signature uuidList: (local) > It only happens when I specify the details[0] values, so maybe there's something wrong regarding the square braces []? I use ACS 4.8.0, and I remember that it worked some time ago with 4.4.3. Thanks for any hints! Regards Martin
