PyZabbix is a Python module for working with the Zabbix API.
- Tested against Zabbix 4.0 LTS, 5.0 LTS, 6.0 LTS and 6.4.
Note
If you are looking for a Zabbix Sender, please use the zappix library.
Install PyZabbix using pip:
$ pip install pyzabbixYou can now import and use pyzabbix like so:
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI
zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")
zapi.login("zabbix user", "zabbix pass")
# You can also authenticate using an API token instead of user/pass with Zabbix >= 5.4
# zapi.login(api_token='xxxxx')
print("Connected to Zabbix API Version %s" % zapi.api_version())
for h in zapi.host.get(output="extend"):
print(h['hostid'])Refer to the Zabbix API Documentation and the PyZabbix Examples for more information.
PyZabbix uses the requests library for HTTP. You can customize the request parameters by configuring the requests Session object used by PyZabbix.
This is useful for:
- Customizing headers
- Enabling HTTP authentication
- Enabling Keep-Alive
- Disabling SSL certificate verification
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI
zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")
# Enable HTTP auth
zapi.session.auth = ("http user", "http password")
# Disable SSL certificate verification
zapi.session.verify = False
# Specify a timeout (in seconds)
zapi.timeout = 5.1
# Login (in case of HTTP Auth, only the username is needed, the password, if passed, will be ignored)
zapi.login("http user", "http password")
# You can also authenticate using an API token instead of user/pass with Zabbix >= 5.4
# zapi.login(api_token='xxxxx')If you need to debug some issue with the Zabbix API, you can enable the output of logging, pyzabbix already uses the default python logging facility but by default, it logs to "Null", you can change this behavior on your program, here's an example:
import sys
import logging
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI
stream = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
stream.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
log = logging.getLogger('pyzabbix')
log.addHandler(stream)
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")
zapi.login('admin','password')
# You can also authenticate using an API token instead of user/pass with Zabbix >= 5.4
# zapi.login(api_token='xxxxx')The expected output is as following:
Sending: {
"params": {
"password": "password",
"user": "admin"
},
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "user.login",
"id": 2
}
Response Code: 200
Response Body: {
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": ".................",
"id": 2
}
