The following objects are directly related to the service API.

Service

The service object has the following properties.

Property Type Description
serviceid string (readonly) ID of the service.
algorithm
(required)
integer Algorithm used to calculate the state of the service.

Possible values:
0 - do not calculate;
1 - problem, if at least one child has a problem;
2 - problem, if all children have problems.
name
(required)
string Name of the service.
showsla
(required)
integer Whether SLA should be calculated.

Possible values:
0 - do not calculate;
1 - calculate.
sortorder
(required)
integer Position of the service used for sorting.
goodsla float Minimum acceptable SLA value. If the SLA drops lower, the service is considered to be in problem state.

Default: 99.9.
status integer (readonly) Whether the service is in OK or problem state.

If the service is in problem state, status is equal either to:
- the priority of the linked trigger if it is set to 2, "Warning" or higher (priorities 0, "Not classified" and 1, "Information" are ignored);
- the highest status of a child service in problem state.

If the service is in OK state, status is equal to 0.
triggerid string Trigger associated with the service. Can only be set for services that don't have children.

Default: 0

Service time

The service time object defines periods, when an service is scheduled to be up or down. It has the following properties.

Property Type Description
timeid string (readonly) ID of the service time.
serviceid
(required)
string ID of the service.

Cannot be updated.
ts_from
(required)
integer Time when the service time comes into effect.

For onetime downtimes ts_from must be set as a Unix timestamp, for other types - as a specific time in a week, in seconds, for example, 90000 for Mon, 1:00 AM.
ts_to
(required)
integer Time when the service time ends.

For onetime uptimes ts_to must be set as a Unix timestamp, for other types - as a specific time in a week, in seconds, for example, 90000 for Mon, 1:00 AM.
type
(required)
integer Service time type.

Possible values:
0 - planned uptime, repeated every week;
1 - planned downtime, repeated every week;
2 - one-time downtime.
note string Additional information about the service time.

Service dependency

The service dependency object represents a dependency between services. It has the following properties.

Property Type Description
linkid string (readonly) ID of the service dependency.
servicedownid
(required)
string ID of the service, that a service depends on, that is, the child service. A service can have multiple children.
serviceupid
(required)
string ID of the service, that is dependent on a service, that is, the parent service. A service can have multiple parents forming a directed graph.
soft
(required)
integer Type of dependency between services.

Possible values:
0 - hard dependency;
1 - soft dependency.

A service can have only one hard-dependent parent. This attribute has no effect on status or SLA calculation and is only used to create a core service tree. Additional parents can be added as soft dependencies forming a graph.

A service can not be deleted if it has hard-dependent children.

Service alarm

Service alarms cannot be directly created, updated or deleted via the Zabbix API.

The service alarm objects represents an service's state change. It has the following properties.

Property Type Description
servicealarmid string ID of the service alarm.
serviceid string ID of the service.
clock timestamp Time when the service state change has happened.
value integer Status of the service.

Refer the the service status property for a list of possible values.
