apmlog_get
Read-only
Retrieves OpenTelemetry APM log records from Zabbix by required time range, then filters by trace ID, span ID, severity, or resource, scope, and log attributes for targeted troubleshooting.
Instructions
Retrieve OpenTelemetry (OTel) APM log records (Zabbix 8.0+): logs with severity_text, severity_number, body, service_name, and the trace / span they were produced in. time_from and time_till are required. Filter by traceids, spanids, trace flags (with_flags_on / with_flags_off, sum of flag values), severity_numbers (0 to 24, through extra_params) or resource / scope / log attribute conditions. Page with limit and offset. For a user who is not Super admin the result is limited to the data whose resource attributes match an APM filter of one of the user's groups (usergroup 'apm_filters').
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of records to return. | |
| filter | No | Return only results whose properties exactly match the given values (a single value or a list of values per key). Example: {"status": 0} or {"status": [0, 1]}. Keys: body, event_name, log_attributes, resource_attributes, resource_schema_url, scope_attributes, scope_name, scope_schema_url, scope_version, service_name, severity_number, severity_text, spanid, timestamp, trace_flags, traceid. Text properties cannot be filtered; use 'search' for them. | |
| offset | No | Number of records to skip before returning the result (paging). | |
| output | No | Properties of the apmlog object to return. Pass 'extend' for all, 'count' for the number of matches only, or a list of property names. Default when omitted: timestamp, traceid, spanid, service_name, severity_text, body. Properties: body, event_name, log_attributes, resource_attributes, resource_schema_url, scope_attributes, scope_name, scope_schema_url, scope_version, service_name, severity_number, severity_text, spanid, timestamp, trace_flags, traceid. | |
| search | No | Return results whose string properties contain the given pattern (case-insensitive; '*' is a wildcard when searchWildcardsEnabled is true). Example: {"name": "web"}. Keys: body, event_name, resource_schema_url, scope_name, scope_schema_url, scope_version, service_name, severity_text, spanid, traceid. | |
| server | No | Target Zabbix server. Available: default. Defaults to 'default' if omitted. | |
| spanids | No | Return only log records produced during the given spans. | |
| raw_json | No | Strips the security disclaimer preamble from the response so it is pure JSON. Default: false. Requires the bearer token to have 'allow_raw_json' explicitly enabled by an operator in the admin portal - tokens without that policy receive a PolicyError instead. WARNING: setting true bypasses the prompt-injection mitigation marker that wraps untrusted Zabbix data (host names, item descriptions, problem text). LLM clients (Claude, GPT, Cursor, ...) should leave this false; only programmatic non-LLM consumers (Python scripts, n8n workflows that json.loads the result) should set true. | |
| traceids | No | Return only log records produced during the given traces. | |
| sortfield | No | Sort by one or more of: timestamp, traceid, spanid, trace_flags, severity_text, severity_number, service_name, resource_schema_url, scope_schema_url, scope_name, scope_version, event_name (a list for several; pair with 'sortorder'). No other property is sortable. | |
| sortorder | No | Sort order: 'ASC' or 'DESC'. | |
| time_from | Yes | Return only log records of events that occurred at or after this time (required). Unix timestamp, ISO 8601 date-time or a relative time such as now-1h or now-1d/d. | |
| time_till | Yes | Return only log records of events that occurred before this time (required). Unix timestamp, ISO 8601 date-time or a relative time such as now or now/d. | |
| extra_params | No | Other native apmlog.get parameters, merged into the request as-is. Parameters: severity_numbers. Any other key is refused here, because Zabbix would silently ignore it. For a parameter you are sure exists on your release but is not listed, use zabbix_raw_api_call. | |
| with_flags_on | No | Return only records that have all of these trace flags set (sum of flag values). | |
| log_attributes | No | Log attributes: Attribute conditions as a list of {"key": ..., "value": ..., "operator": ...} objects; operators: 0 Contains, 1 Equals, 2 Not like, 3 Not equal, 4 Exists, 5 Does not exist. An empty list returns everything. | |
| with_flags_off | No | Return only records that have none of these trace flags set (sum of flag values). | |
| scope_attributes | No | Scope attributes: Attribute conditions as a list of {"key": ..., "value": ..., "operator": ...} objects; operators: 0 Contains, 1 Equals, 2 Not like, 3 Not equal, 4 Exists, 5 Does not exist. An empty list returns everything. | |
| resource_attributes | No | Resource attributes: Attribute conditions as a list of {"key": ..., "value": ..., "operator": ...} objects; operators: 0 Contains, 1 Equals, 2 Not like, 3 Not equal, 4 Exists, 5 Does not exist. An empty list returns everything. | |
| log_attributes_evaltype | No | How the conditions in log_attributes combine: 0 = And/Or (default), 2 = Or. | |
| scope_attributes_evaltype | No | How the conditions in scope_attributes combine: 0 = And/Or (default), 2 = Or. | |
| resource_attributes_evaltype | No | How the conditions in resource_attributes combine: 0 = And/Or (default), 2 = Or. |
