PyZabbix

PyZabbix is a Python module for working with the Zabbix API.

Requirements

• Tested against Zabbix 2.0

Getting Started

Install PyZabbix using pip:

$ pip install pyzabbix

You can now import and use pyzabbix like so:

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")
zapi.login("zabbix user", "zabbix pass")
print "Connected to Zabbix API Version %s" % zapi.api_version()

for h in zapi.host.get(extendoutput=True):
    print h['hostid']

Refer to the Zabbix API Documentation and the PyZabbix Examples for more information.

HTTP Auth

If your server requires HTTP Auth, you can provide a configured requests Session object.

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI
from requests import Session

s = Session()
s.auth = ("http user", "http password")

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com", s)
