    API to get the monitoring data of network devices like switches and routers

    Hi,

    Using zabbix API, we want to get the monitoring data of network devices like switches and routers.

    Can you please let me know how to configure the network devices monitoring and which api can give the monitoring events data of switches and routers.

    Regards,
    Prasanti.

    Does not work this way pal. You need to review and understand Zabbix concepts.

    Zabbix API is used only to manage and extract data from your zabbix-database/server.

    To monitor your switches and routers, you need to create them as hosts with templates within zabbix first.

    (Not really useful to you at this point, but here's the host.create method of Zabbix API to automate the creation of hosts: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ce/host/create).

    Go back to the basics, understand the tool, and them adapt to your scenario.
