Disable host via API?

[w00tburger]

I am looking to create a script that runs on my hosts upon shutdown that will disable the host in Zabbix. I would like to disable vs remove as I want to keep an audit trail of the data which is collected, but I am not seeing a disable command in the API (unless its buried under update). I am also curious to know how I can get the local zabbix identifier so I know what i am posting to the Zabbix API to disable the host.

Can someone steer me in the proper direction?

Hi,

yes it is possible, take a look here: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ce/host/update
just set the status to 1

Thanks for the link! I guess the bigger question is, how am I able to get the local host ID so I know which one I can disable?

If Hostname= is set up properly in agents config files, you could use it with host.get to get hostid.
