Accepts an object, where the keys are property names, and the values are either a single value or an array of values to match against. Does not support properties of text data type.Supports additional properties: host - technical name of the host that the item 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: itemid, name, key_, delay, history, trends, type, status. |
| countOutput | boolean | These parameters being common for all get methods are described in detail in the reference commentary page. |

| startSearch | boolean |
Return values
(integer/array) Returns either:
- an array of objects;
- the count of retrieved objects, if the
