PyZabbix

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

Requirements

Tested against Zabbix 1.8 through 2.2

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.

Customizing the HTTP request

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", s)

# Enable HTTP auth
zapi.session.auth = ("http user", "http password")

# Disable SSL certificate verification
zapi.session.verify = False

# Specify a timeout (in seconds)
zapi.session.timeout = 5
