Get alarm/event description with use of json API

[runemy]

Hi

Based on triggerid and hostid I need to get the latest (current) event description with use of the json API. I'm running zabbix version 2.2.

Posting this json:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "event.get",
"params": {
"objectids": 15415,
"hostids": 10214,
"output": "extend"
},
"auth": "809wqeiurasdfkjadsowiequrdfj07",
"id": 1
}

I get this returned:

<Response xmlns="https://zabbix.svada.com/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php">
<id>1</id>
<jsonrpc>2.0</jsonrpc>
<result>
<e>
<acknowledged>0</acknowledged>
<clock>1398177420</clock>
<eventid>89539</eventid>
<hosts>
<e>
<hostid>10214</hostid>
</e>
</hosts>
<ns>365964160</ns>
<object>0</object>
<objectid>15415</objectid>
<source>0</source>
<value>1</value>
</e>
</result>
</Response>


But this do not contain the event description (alarm text). Can anyone give me some advice on what I need to do to get the event description?

Solved

Hi

Thanks to this thread I have solved my case:

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=96645

I understand that trigger.get is the right call to use, not event.get. The magic was to add to trigger.get:
expandData: 1
expandDescription: 1

This is my final json call:

{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "trigger.get",
"params": {
"triggerids": "15415",
"hostids": 10214,
"output": ["description"],
"expandData": "1",
"expandDescription": "1"
},
"auth": "swoeiru09mxzniuewfjsl575e7",
"id": 1
}
