lastChangeTill	timestamp	Return only triggers that have changed their state before the given time.
only_true	flag	Return only triggers that have recently been in a problem state.
min_severity	integer	Return only triggers with severity greater or equal than the given severity.
expandData	flag	Return additional data about the first host in the trigger expression. Adds the following properties to each trigger: `hostname` - (string) visible name of the host; `host` - (string) technical name of the host; `hostid` - (string) ID of the host.
expandComment	flag	Expand macros in the trigger description.
expandDescription	flag	Expand macros in the name of the trigger.
expandExpression	flag	Expand functions and macros in the trigger expression.
selectGroups	query	Return the host groups that the trigger belongs to in the `groups` property.
selectHosts	query	Return the hosts that the trigger belongs to in the `hosts` property.
selectItems	query	Return items contained by the trigger in the `items` property.

selectDiscoveryRule	query	Return the low-level discovery rule that created the trigger.
selectLastEvent	query	Return the last significant trigger event in the `lastEvent` property.
filter	object	Return only those results that exactly match the given filter. Accepts an array, where the keys are property names, and the values are either a single value or an array of values to match against. Supports additional filters: `host` - technical name of the host that the trigger belongs to; `hostid` - ID of the host that the trigger belongs to.
limitSelects	integer	Limits the number of records returned by subselects. Applies to the following subselects: `selectHosts` - results will be sorted by `host`.
sortfield	string/array	Sort the result by the given properties. Possible values are: `triggerid`, `description`, `status`, `priority`, `lastchange` and `hostname`.
countOutput	flag	These parameters being common for all `get` methods are described in detail in the reference commentary page.
editable	boolean
excludeSearch	flag
limit	integer
nodeids	string/array
output	query
preservekeys	flag
search	object
searchByAny	boolean
searchWildcardsEnabled	boolean
sortorder	string/array
