Examples

ZabbixAPI

from pyzabbix.api import ZabbixAPI

# Create ZabbixAPI class instance
zapi = ZabbixAPI(url='https://localhost/zabbix/', user='Admin', password='zabbix')

# Get all monitored hosts
result1 = zapi.host.get(monitored_hosts=1, output='extend')

# Get all disabled hosts
result2 = zapi.do_request('host.get',
                          {
                              'filter': {'status': 1},
                              'output': 'extend'
                          })

# Filter results
hostnames1 = [host['host'] for host in result1]
hostnames2 = [host['host'] for host in result2['result']]

# Logout from Zabbix
zapi.user.logout()

Or use 'with' statement to logout automatically:

from pyzabbix.api import ZabbixAPI

# Create ZabbixAPI class instance
with ZabbixAPI(url='https://localhost/zabbix/', user='Admin', password='zabbix') as zapi:

    # Get all monitored hosts
    result1 = zapi.host.get(monitored_hosts=1, output='extend')

Enable logging:

import sys
import logging
from pyzabbix.api import ZabbixAPI

# Create ZabbixAPI class instance
logger = logging.getLogger("pyzabbix")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
logger.addHandler(handler)

zapi = ZabbixAPI(url='http://localhost', user='Admin', password='zabbix')

Note that passwords and auth tokens are hidden when raw messages are logged or raised in exceptions ( but not hidden if print() is used):

ZabbixAPI.login(Admin,********)
Call user.login method
urllib2.Request(http://localhost/api_jsonrpc.php, {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "user.login", "params": {"user": "Admin", "password": "********"}, "id": "1"})
Response Body: {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": "********",
    "id": "1"
}

ZabbixSender

from pyzabbix import ZabbixMetric, ZabbixSender

# Send metrics to zabbix trapper
packet = [
  ZabbixMetric('hostname1', 'test[cpu_usage]', 2),
  ZabbixMetric('hostname1', 'test[system_status]', "OK"),
  ZabbixMetric('hostname1', 'test[disk_io]', '0.1'),
  ZabbixMetric('hostname1', 'test[cpu_usage]', 20, 1411598020),
]

result = ZabbixSender(use_config=True).send(packet)
