# PyZabbix

**PyZabbix** is a Python module for working with the [Zabbix API](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/api/reference).

[![CI](https://github.com/lukecyca/pyzabbix/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/lukecyca/pyzabbix/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[![PyPI Package Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pyzabbix.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/pyzabbix/)
[![PyPI Python Versions](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/pyzabbix.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/pyzabbix/)

## Requirements

- Tested against Zabbix 4.0 LTS, 5.0 LTS, 6.0 LTS and 6.4.

## Documentation

> [!NOTE]
> If you are looking for a `Zabbix Sender`, please use the [`zappix` library](https://pypi.org/project/zappix).

### Getting Started

Install PyZabbix using pip:

```bash
$ pip install pyzabbix
```

You can now import and use pyzabbix like so:

```python
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")
zapi.login("zabbix user", "zabbix pass")
# You can also authenticate using an API token instead of user/pass with Zabbix >= 5.4
# zapi.login(api_token='xxxxx')
print("Connected to Zabbix API Version %s" % zapi.api_version())

for h in zapi.host.get(output="extend"):
    print(h['hostid'])
```

Refer to the [Zabbix API Documentation](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/api/reference) and the [PyZabbix Examples](https://github.com/lukecyca/pyzabbix/tree/master/examples) for more information.

### Customizing the HTTP request

PyZabbix uses the [requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/) library for HTTP. You can customize the request parameters by configuring the [requests Session](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/#session-objects) object used by PyZabbix.

This is useful for:

- Customizing headers
- Enabling HTTP authentication
- Enabling Keep-Alive
- Disabling SSL certificate verification

```python
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")

# Enable HTTP auth
zapi.session.auth = ("http user", "http password")

# Disable SSL certificate verification
zapi.session.verify = False

# Specify a timeout (in seconds)
zapi.timeout = 5.1

# Login (in case of HTTP Auth, only the username is needed, the password, if passed, will be ignored)
zapi.login("http user", "http password")

# You can also authenticate using an API token instead of user/pass with Zabbix >= 5.4
# zapi.login(api_token='xxxxx')
```

### Enabling debug logging

If you need to debug some issue with the Zabbix API, you can enable the output of logging, pyzabbix already uses the default python logging facility but by default, it logs to "Null", you can change this behavior on your program, here's an example:

```python
import sys
import logging
from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI

stream = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
stream.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
log = logging.getLogger('pyzabbix')
log.addHandler(stream)
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)


zapi = ZabbixAPI("http://zabbixserver.example.com")
zapi.login('admin','password')

# You can also authenticate using an API token instead of user/pass with Zabbix >= 5.4
# zapi.login(api_token='xxxxx')

```

The expected output is as following:

```
Sending: {
    "params": {
        "password": "password",
        "user": "admin"
    },
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "user.login",
    "id": 2
}
Response Code: 200
Response Body: {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": ".................",
    "id": 2
}
>>>
```

## Development

To develop this project, start by reading the `Makefile` to have a basic understanding of the possible tasks.
