pyzabbix is a python module for working with the Zabbix API.
The Zabbix API is a web based API and is shipped as part of the web frontend. It uses the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol which means two things:
- The API consists of a set of separate methods,like "user.login","item.create",etc.
- Requests and responses between the clients and the API are encoded using the JSON format.
There are some examples using this method：
[root@test Zabbix-PyZabbix]# python zabbix_host_delete.py -h
