Not able to retrieve host information using Zabbix API

[Supriya123]

Hi All,

I am new to access Zabbix API using python. When I was trying to get host information using user name and password it says invalid username and password.

Here is my python script

#!/usr/bin/env python

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

from pprint import pprint




# Create ZabbixAPI class instance

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://xx.xx.x.xxx/zabbix")

zapi.login("Admin", "{somepassword}")

print "Connected to Zabbix API Version %s" % zapi.api_version()




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

pprint(h)


Here is my output

[root@zabbix-vx-010101-1 html]# python monitoredhosts.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "monitoredhosts.py", line 6, in <module>

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://10.21.1.239/zabbix")

raise ZabbixAPIException(err)

pyzabbix.api.ZabbixAPIException: {u'message': u'Application error.', u'code': -32500, u'data': u'Login name or password is incorrect.', 'json': "{'params': {'password': 'zabbix', 'user': 'Admin'}, 'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'method': 'user.login', 'id': '1'}"}
