Get item values from databases

[nima0102]

Hi
I need to gather items from different server,these items are not equal,so I could not use "aggregate item" for our purpose!
I decide to write bash script so that fetch given items from database directly and return our needed result.
Apparently zabbix provides "API" for interact to zabbix server.
1- Is it possible with API we can fetch items's value directly from database??
2- Is it possible with API we can push data for one host or one item?
3- Which API do you suggest?

Thanks for any help or guidance

Hi,

1. http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...ges/zabbix_get
2. http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../zabbix_sender

These methods won't get data already stored in Zabbix database.

We use an external script to directly extract data from DB with mysql client.

I suppose that it could be done with Zabbix API but we have developed our scripts on 1.6 when API was not available.
