zabbix-client is a Zabbix API wrapper written in Python. It works on Python 2.6+ and 3.2+.

Zabbix API

Zabbix API was introduced in Zabbix 1.8 and allows you to create, update and fetch Zabbix objects (like hosts, items, graphs and others) through the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.

zabbix-client supports all Zabbix versions including the JSON-RPC API, starting with Zabbix 1.8.

Usage

Calling a method that does not require authentication:

>>> from zabbix_client import ZabbixServerProxy
>>> s = ZabbixServerProxy('http://localhost/zabbix')
>>> s.apiinfo.version()
'2.0.12'

Calling a method that requires previous authentication:

>>> from zabbix_client import ZabbixServerProxy
>>> s = ZabbixServerProxy('http://localhost/zabbix')
>>> s.user.login(user='Admin', password='zabbix')
'44cfb35933e3e75ef51988845ab15e8b'
>>> s.host.get(output=['hostid', 'host'])
[{'host': 'Zabbix server', 'hostid': '10084'},
    {'host': 'Test', 'hostid': '10085'}]
>>> s.user.logout()
True
