Description

integer/array itemprototype.get(object parameters)

The method allows to retrieve item prototypes according to the given parameters.

This method is available to users of any type. Permissions to call the method can be revoked in user role settings. See User roles for more information.

Parameters

(object) Parameters defining the desired output.

The method supports the following parameters.

Parameter Type Description
discoveryids string/array Return only item prototypes that belong to the given LLD rules.
graphids string/array Return only item prototypes that are used in the given graph prototypes.
hostids string/array Return only item prototypes that belong to the given hosts.
inherited boolean If set to true return only item prototypes inherited from a template.
itemids string/array Return only item prototypes with the given IDs.
monitored boolean If set to true return only enabled item prototypes that belong to monitored hosts.
templated boolean If set to true return only item prototypes that belong to templates.
templateids string/array Return only item prototypes that belong to the given templates.
triggerids string/array Return only item prototypes that are used in the given trigger prototypes.
selectApplications query Return an applications property with applications that the item prototype belongs to.
selectApplicationPrototypes query Return applicationPrototypes property with application prototypes linked to item prototype.
selectDiscoveryRule query Return a discoveryRule property with the low-level discovery rule that the item prototype belongs to.
selectGraphs query Return a manual/api/reference/graphprototype/object#graph_prototype property with graph prototypes that the item prototype is used in.

Supports count.
selectHosts query Return a hosts property with an array of hosts that the item prototype belongs to.
selectTriggers query Return a triggers property with trigger prototypes that the item prototype is used in.

Supports count.
selectPreprocessing query Return a preprocessing property with item preprocessing options.

It has the following properties:
type - (string) The preprocessing option type:
1 - Custom multiplier;
2 - Right trim;
3 - Left trim;
4 - Trim;
5 - Regular expression matching;
6 - Boolean to decimal;
7 - Octal to decimal;
8 - Hexadecimal to decimal;
9 - Simple change;
10 - Change per second;
11 - XML XPath;
12 - JSONPath;
13 - In range;
14 - Matches regular expression;
15 - Does not match regular expression;
16 - Check for error in JSON;
17 - Check for error in XML;
18 - Check for error using regular expression;
19 - Discard unchanged;
20 - Discard unchanged with heartbeat;
21 - JavaScript;
22 - Prometheus pattern;
23 - Prometheus to JSON;
24 - CSV to JSON;
25 - Replace.

params - (string) Additional parameters used by preprocessing option. Multiple parameters are separated by LF (\n)character.
error_handler - (string) Action type used in case of preprocessing step failure:
0 - Error message is set by Zabbix server;
1 - Discard value;
2 - Set custom value;
3 - Set custom error message.

error_handler_params - (string) Error handler parameters.
filter object Return only those results that exactly match the given filter.

Accepts an array, where the keys are property names, and the values are either a single value or an array of values to match against.

Supports additional filters:
host - technical name of the host that the item prototype belongs to.
limitSelects integer Limits the number of records returned by subselects.

Applies to the following subselects:
selectGraphs - results will be sorted by name;
selectTriggers - results will be sorted by description.
sortfield string/array Sort the result by the given properties.

Possible values are: itemid, name, key_, delay, type and status.
countOutput boolean These parameters being common for all get methods are described in detail in the reference commentary.
editable boolean
excludeSearch boolean
limit integer
output query
preservekeys boolean
search object
searchByAny boolean
searchWildcardsEnabled boolean
sortorder string/array
startSearch boolean

Return values

(integer/array) Returns either:

  • an array of objects;
  • the count of retrieved objects, if the countOutput parameter has been used.
