Python Zabbix 2.2 API help

[vincentj]

Hi! I'm new to Zabbix and am trying to get it to play nice with my existing python infrastructure. Using the pyzabbix module written by luckecyca, I am attempting to get host information from my zabbix server.

However, in the simplest case, I cannot get the api to give me details about the hosts, only hostid. Same for hostgroup, only groupid. What I do is this:

#!/usr/bin/python -u

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://1.2.3.4/zabbix")
zapi.login("user", "passwd")
print "Connected to Zabbix API Version %s" % zapi.api_version()

for h in zapi.host.get(extendoutput=True):
        print h

for hg in zapi.hostgroup.get(extendoutput=True):
        print hg

Output is as follows:

u'hostid': u'10105'}
{u'hostid': u'10106'}
{u'hostid': u'10107'}
{u'hostid': u'10084'}
{u'groupid': u'9'}
{u'groupid': u'8'}
{u'groupid': u'5'}
{u'groupid': u'7'}
{u'groupid': u'2'}
{u'groupid': u'1'}
{u'groupid': u'6'}
{u'groupid': u'4'}

These are very small json snippets. I cannot access any of the other parameters of the host or hostgroup objects.

Am I missing something fundamental here? Do I need to be using a different API tool in python to access Zabbix 2.2?

Thank you in advance.

I solved it! It's an incompatibility between 2.0 and 2.2. To use pyzabbix, instead of using the argument extendoutput=True, use output='extend' instead.

Thus, working code would like something like this (in my example above):

for h in zapi.host.get(output='extend'):
    print h

Solution was found here.
