auditlog_get
Retrieve Zabbix audit log entries to trace configuration changes and login events, filter by user or time window, and support security audits and compliance reviews.
Instructions
Retrieve audit log entries (read-only). The audit log records every configuration change and login/logout event in Zabbix, including who made the change, when, what object was affected, and the old/new values. Essential for security auditing, compliance, and forensic investigation. Use time_from/time_till to limit the time window and userids to focus on a specific user's activity. Results can be large -- always use limit or time filters.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of results 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: action, auditid, clock, ip, recordsetid (6.0+), resource_cuid (7.0+), resourceid, resourcename, resourcetype, userid, username (6.0+). Text properties cannot be filtered; use 'search' for them. | |
| output | No | Properties of the auditlog object to return. Pass 'extend' for all, 'count' for the number of matches only, or a comma-separated list of property names. Default when omitted: auditid, userid, action, resourcetype, clock. Properties: action, auditid, clock, details (6.0+), ip, recordsetid (6.0+), resource_cuid (7.0+), resourceid, resourcename, resourcetype, userid, username (6.0+). | |
| search | No | Return results whose string properties contain the given pattern (case-insensitive; '*' is a wildcard when searchWildcardsEnabled is true). Example: {"name": "web"}. Keys: details (6.0+), ip, resourcename, username (6.0+). | |
| server | No | Target Zabbix server. Available: default. Defaults to 'default' if omitted. | |
| userids | No | Return only audit log entries for actions performed by these user IDs. | |
| auditids | No | Return only audit log entries with the given IDs. | |
| 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. | |
| sortfield | No | Sort by one or more of: auditid, userid, clock (comma-separated for several; pair with 'sortorder'). No other property is sortable. | |
| sortorder | No | Sort order: 'ASC' (ascending) or 'DESC' (descending). | |
| time_from | No | Return only audit log entries created after this time (Unix timestamp, ISO 8601 date-time such as 2026-04-01T08:00:00Z, or a relative time such as now-1h, now/d or now-7d/d; a value without a zone is read in the zone resolved for the call) (inclusive). Use for scoping queries to a specific time window. | |
| time_till | No | Return only audit log entries created before this time (Unix timestamp, ISO 8601 date-time such as 2026-04-01T08:00:00Z, or a relative time such as now-1h, now/d or now-7d/d; a value without a zone is read in the zone resolved for the call) (inclusive). | |
| countOutput | No | Return the count of matching results instead of the actual data. | |
| searchByAny | No | If true, return results matching ANY search field (OR). Default is ALL fields (AND). | |
| extra_params | No | Other native auditlog.get parameters, merged into the request as-is. Sub-object selects (value 'extend', 'count' or a list of property names): . 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. | |
| searchWildcardsEnabled | No | If true, enable * and ? wildcards in search patterns. |
