How to get only active problems via API ?

[Pigi_102]

Hello all,
I'm trying to write a script to get all the active problems from the zabbix servers, to send them as a recap one time a day.
I would like to use the API as it should be the perfect way but I'm having trouble to distinct the RESOLVED ones.

This, at the moment, is my python script:

#!/usr/bin/python3

import requests
import json

# Zabbix server URL
zabbix_url = 'https://MY_SERVER/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php'

# Your API token
api_token = 'MY_VERY_SECURE_AUTH_KEY'

# Get active problems with start date
   problem_payload = {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "event.get",
    "params": {
      "output": ["eventid", "name", "severity", "acknowledged", "suppressed", "clock"], # 'clock' is the start date
      "selectHosts": ["host"], # Include hostname
      "filter": {
      "value": 1 # Filter for active problems
      },
    "sortfield": "clock",
    "sortorder": "ASC"
    },
    "auth": api_token,
    "id": 1
}

# Make the request while ignoring SSL verification
response = requests.post(zabbix_url, json=problem_payload, verify=False)

# Check if the request was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
   active_problems = response.json().get('result', [])

  # Print active problems with their start dates
  for problem in active_problems:
    acknowledged_state = 'Acknowledged' if problem['acknowledged'] == 1 else 'Not Acknowledged'
    hosts = ', '.join([host['host'] for host in problem['hosts']]) if 'hosts' in problem else 'Unknown Host'
    print(f"Problem ID: {problem['eventid']}, Description: {problem['name']}, Severity: {problem['severity']}, State: {acknowledged_state}, Host: {hosts},      Start Date: {problem['clock']}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

It basically works, except that it extract every event since when we started zabbix server.
I would like to exclude all the event that are "automagically" resolved by Zabbix, but can't find an attribute in api that I can use as a filter.

Just for clarify I would like to "emulate" the extraction you can do from the webui when you go in:
Monitoring-> Problems and choose "Problems" then "Extract CSV".

I cannot even find a way to get the status of the event ( I could easly filter them by using grep )

Does someone have had better luck than me about this ?

Thanks in advance

Hello!
Is it still actual?
I have the same problem.

Did you tried method "problem.get" instead of "event.get"? https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...erence/problem
