Getting Zabbix Agent Version from an API call

[mczabbix]

Is it possible to obtain the agent.version from anywhere in the zabbix api? I've tried looking through items.get and see agent.version but not seeing a numeric value (e.g. 3.2.4) . I was hoping to use the API rather than using zabbix_get .
I can't seem to find this in the DB either.
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance, :-)

You can use agent.version[] key in one of the items defined per host and then check over API what is the last value of the item on exact host.

This is great, thank you!
I should be able to loop through a host.get and then get the host specific agent.version key_ from item.get. Does that sound right? It's so weird how I can't see this value in latest data. Hunting for the last value in API now.
started looking at zapish. Very cool and useful! :-)

Actually if you will have look on my zabbix agent template https://github.com/kloczek/zabbix-te...Zabbix%20Agent you can find implemented something like this.
Additionally version of the agent is mapped to "Software Application A" inventory entries so by go to Inventory -> Overview -> (on right side) "Software Application A" you will have list of the hosts aggregated and counted per versions used on all monitored hosts where this template is used.

Someone here know how to know if the version of the agent is 1 or 2 ?

[solution]

create an item with the key "agent.variant".
