Data types

数据类型

The Zabbix API supports the following data types:

Zabbix API支持以下数据类型：

Type	Description
boolean	A boolean value, accepts either `true` or `false`.
flag	The value is considered to be `true` if it is passed and not equal to `null` and `false` otherwise.
integer	A whole number.
float	A floating point number.
string	A text string.
text	A longer text string.
timestamp	A Unix timestamp.
array	An ordered sequence of values, that is, a plain array.
object	An associative array.
query	A value which defines, what data should be returned. Can be defined as an array of property names to return only specific properties, or as one of the predefined values: `extend` - returns all object properties; `count` - returns the number of retrieved records, supported only by certain subselects.

数据类型描述
boolean	布尔值, 只接受`true` 或 `false`这两种参数。
flag	如果传递的值不等于`null` 和 `false`，则认为该值为`true`。
integer	整数。
float	浮点数。
string	文本字符串。
text	长文本字符串。
timestamp	Unix时间戳。
array	有序的值序列, 即普通数组。
object	关联数组。
query	用于定义应该返回哪些数据。可定义为仅返回特定属性的属性名称数组，或者定义为以下预定值之一： `extend` - 返回所有对象属性； `count` - 返回检索到的记录的数量，仅支持某些子查询。

Property labels

属性标签

Some of the objects properties are marked with short labels to describe their behavior. The following labels are used:

一些对象属性用短标签来描述它们的行为。使用了以下标签：

readonly - the value of the property is set automatically and cannot be defined or changed by the client;
constant - the value of the property can be set when creating an object, but cannot be changed after.

readonly - 属性的值是自动设置的，客户端不能定义或修改；
constant - 属性的值可以在创建对象时设置，创建之后则不能修改。

Reserved ID value "0"

预留ID值 "0"

Reserved ID value "0" can be used to filter elements and to remove referenced objects. For example, to remove a referenced proxy from a host, proxy_hostid should be set to 0 ("proxy_hostid": "0") or to filter hosts monitored by server option proxyids should be set to 0 ("proxyids": "0").

预留ID值 "0" 可以用来过滤元素和删除引用的对象。例如，要从主机上删除一个引用的代理，proxy_hostid应该设置为0（"proxy_hostid": "0"）；或者，要过滤被zabbix server监控的主机，proxyids选项则应该设置为0 ("proxyids": "0")。

Common "get" method parameters

常用的 "get" 方法参数

The following parameters are supported by all get methods:

所有get 方法都支持以下参数：

Parameter	Type	Description
countOutput	boolean	Return the number of records in the result instead of the actual data.
editable	boolean	If set to `true` return only objects that the user has write permissions to. Default: `false`.
excludeSearch	boolean	Return results that do not match the criteria given in the `search` parameter.
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. Doesn't work for `text` fields.
limit	integer	Limit the number of records returned.
output	query	Object properties to be returned. Default: `extend`.
preservekeys	boolean	Use IDs as keys in the resulting array.
search	object	Return results that match the given wildcard search (case-insensitive). Accepts an array, where the keys are property names, and the values are strings to search for. If no additional options are given, this will perform a `LIKE "%…%"` search. Works only for `string` and `text` fields.
searchByAny	boolean	If set to `true` return results that match any of the criteria given in the `filter` or `search` parameter instead of all of them. Default: `false`.
searchWildcardsEnabled	boolean	If set to `true` enables the use of "*" as a wildcard character in the `search` parameter. Default: `false`.
sortfield	string/array	Sort the result by the given properties. Refer to a specific API get method description for a list of properties that can be used for sorting. Macros are not expanded before sorting.
sortorder	string/array	Order of sorting. If an array is passed, each value will be matched to the corresponding property given in the `sortfield` parameter. Possible values are: `ASC` - ascending; `DESC` - descending.
startSearch	boolean	The `search` parameter will compare the beginning of fields, that is, perform a `LIKE "…%"` search instead. Ignored if `searchWildcardsEnabled` is set to `true`.

参数数	类型描述
countOutput	boolean	返回结果中的记录数量，而不是实际数据。
editable	boolean	如果设置为“true”，则只返回用户具有写入权限的对象。默认值: `false`。
excludeSearch	boolean	返回与在 `search` 参数中给定的条件不匹配的结果。
filter	object	仅返回与给定过滤器完全匹配的结果。接受一个数组，键是属性名；要么是单个值，要么是要匹配的一组值。不适用于 `text` 字段。
limit	integer	限制返回记录的数量。
output	query	要返回的对象属性。默认值: `extend`。
preservekeys	boolean	在结果数组中，使用ID作为键。
search	object	返回与给定通配符搜索匹配的结果 (不区分大小写)。接受一个数组，键是属性名，其值是要搜索的字符串。如果没有提供额外的选项，将执行`LIKE "%…%"` 搜索。仅适用于 `string` 和 `text` 字段。
searchByAny	boolean	如果设置为 `true` ，则返回与 `filter` 或 `search` 参数中给出的任何条件匹配的结果，而不是匹配所有条件。默认值: `false`。
searchWildcardsEnabled	boolean	如果设置为 `true` ，则可以在 `search` 参数中使用 "*" 作为通配符。默认值: `false`。
sortfield	string/array	Sort the result by the given properties. Refer to a specific API get method description for a list of properties that can be used for sorting. Macros are not expanded before sorting.
sortorder	string/array	Order of sorting. If an array is passed, each value will be matched to the corresponding property given in the `sortfield` parameter. Possible values are: `ASC` - ascending; `DESC` - descending.
startSearch	boolean	The `search` parameter will compare the beginning of fields, that is, perform a `LIKE "…%"` search instead. Ignored if `searchWildcardsEnabled` is set to `true`.
