Zabbix API

Hi,

What API call could I do to see if any triggers are currently triggered for a particular host?

What I am after is to be able to do a call, if any triggers are currently active for a particular host return fail, if no triggers exist to say true.

Anyone able to help with this?

I can't seem to be able to pass the api flag only_true or withUnacknowledgedEvents

Hi,

Maybe you should use the Event.get method to retrieve all the events with the value = 1 for desired hosts:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "event.get",
    "params": {
        "output": "extend",
        "select_acknowledges": "extend",
        "hostids": "1234",
        "sortfield": ["clock", "eventid"],
        "selectRelatedObject": 1,
        "sortorder": "DESC"
    },
    "auth": "038e1d7b1735c6a5436ee9eae095879e",
    "id": 1
}

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried that method, but it returns a lot of information for a host and I can't seem to make sense of it :/

For an example, if I go to:

Latest data » Status of triggers » Latest events

For a single host it shows 1 trigger with the details "High PROBLEM". Guess I looking to do an API call to check if this page has anything on it for a particular host and return a true or false status.

Ahh a little tinkering I figured that the key "Value =" relates to if the trigger is active or not.

0 = Not triggered
1 = triggered...

Setting the parameter:

only_true = '1'

seems to be the missing element.

I used triggerGet (from the http://zabbixapi.confirm.ch/) with the following default params:

 $api->setDefaultParams(array(
        'output' => 'extend',
        'select_acknowledges' => 'extend',
        'sortfield' => array('lastchange','status'),
        'selectRelatedObject' => '1',
        'selectLastEvent' => '1',
        'sortorder' => 'DESC',
        'hostids' => '66',
        'only_true' => '1'
        )); 

Which has given me the required information.
