It wraps Zabbix's JSON-RPC API to let you query monitored hosts, retrieve metrics, and manage Zabbix objects programmatically. It also provides a ZabbixSender class to push custom metrics into Zabbix trappers for real-time data ingestion.\n\nThe library is straightforward to use: instantiate a ZabbixAPI object with server credentials, then call methods like host.get() to retrieve data or use ZabbixSender to submit metrics. It supports context managers for automatic logout and includes logging that redacts passwords from debug output. However, the project is dormant\u2014the last release was in April 2020 and the repository has not been actively maintained since late 2023, so compatibility with recent Zabbix versions and modern Python environments is uncertain.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively using Zabbix and need a Python API client and your Zabbix server version is compatible with the library's last release (April 2020). The package has no dependencies, installs easily, and works for basic API queries and metric sending. However, be aware that maintenance is dormant\u2014test thoroughly in your environment before relying on it in production, and consider whether a more recently maintained fork or alternative exists if you need support for newer Zabbix versions."},"id":"py-zabbix","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-zabbix","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-zabbix.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-zabbix/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"py-zabbix","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python module to work with zabbix."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75653,"position":14690,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.7"}
