dhost_get
Read-only
Retrieve read-only Zabbix discovered hosts found by network discovery rules, filtered by rule, status, or ID, to inspect discovery results and associated services.
Instructions
Retrieve discovered hosts (read-only). Discovered hosts are hosts found by network discovery rules. Each discovered host may have one or more discovered services (dservice) representing the checks that succeeded.
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: dhostid, druleid, lastdown, lastup, status. Text properties cannot be filtered; use 'search' for them. | |
| output | No | Properties of the dhost object to return. Pass 'extend' for all, 'count' for the number of matches only, or a list of property names. Default when omitted: dhostid, druleid, status. Properties: dhostid, druleid, lastdown, lastup, status. | |
| search | No | Return results that match the given pattern (case-insensitive by default). Example: {"name": "web"} finds 'Web Server', 'my-web-app', etc. | |
| server | No | Target Zabbix server. Available: default. Defaults to 'default' if omitted. | |
| dhostids | No | Return only discovered hosts with the given IDs. | |
| druleids | No | Return only discovered hosts found by the given network discovery rules. | |
| 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: dhostid, druleid (a list for several; pair with 'sortorder'). No other property is sortable. | |
| sortorder | No | Sort order: 'ASC' (ascending) or 'DESC' (descending). | |
| 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 dhost.get parameters, merged into the request as-is. Parameters: dserviceids, groupCount, limitSelects. Switches (true turns one on, false is the same as leaving it out): groupCount. groupCount goes with output='count': the count is then split by the ID filters the method groups by (hostids, groupids ...), one row per ID with 'rowscount'; a single row without such a filter. Sub-object selects (value 'extend', 'count' or a list of property names): selectDRules, selectDServices. 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. |
