mediatype_get
Read-only
Retrieve Zabbix notification media types to view configured delivery channels (email, SMS, webhook) and diagnose delivery configuration.
Instructions
Retrieve notification media types configured in Zabbix. Media types define how notifications are delivered: Email, SMS, webhook (Slack, PagerDuty, Teams, etc.), or custom scripts. Each media type has its own set of parameters such as SMTP settings, webhook URL, or script path. Use this to list available notification channels or diagnose delivery configuration.
Input Schema
TableJSON 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: access_expires_in (7.4+), access_token (7.4+), access_token_updated (7.4+), attempt_interval, authorization_url (7.4+), client_id (7.4+), client_secret (7.4+), event_menu_name, event_menu_url, exec_params (removed in 6.4), exec_path, gsm_modem, maxattempts, maxsessions, mediatypeid, message_format (7.0+), name, passwd, process_tags, provider (6.4+), redirection_url (7.4+), refresh_token (7.4+), show_event_menu, smtp_authentication, smtp_email, smtp_helo, smtp_port, smtp_security, smtp_server, smtp_verify_host, smtp_verify_peer, status, timeout, token_url (7.4+), tokens_status (7.4+), type, username. Text properties cannot be filtered; use 'search' for them. | |
| output | No | Properties of the mediatype 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: mediatypeid, name, type, status. Properties: access_expires_in (7.4+), access_token (7.4+), access_token_updated (7.4+), attempt_interval, authorization_url (7.4+), client_id (7.4+), client_secret (7.4+), content_type (removed in 7.2), description, event_menu_name, event_menu_url, exec_params (removed in 6.4), exec_path, gsm_modem, maxattempts, maxsessions, mediatypeid, message_format (7.0+), name, parameters, passwd, process_tags, provider (6.4+), redirection_url (7.4+), refresh_token (7.4+), script, show_event_menu, smtp_authentication, smtp_email, smtp_helo, smtp_port, smtp_security, smtp_server, smtp_verify_host, smtp_verify_peer, status, timeout, token_url (7.4+), tokens_status (7.4+), type, username. | |
| search | No | Return results whose string properties contain the given pattern (case-insensitive; '*' is a wildcard when searchWildcardsEnabled is true). Example: {"name": "web"}. Keys: access_token (7.4+), attempt_interval, authorization_url (7.4+), client_id (7.4+), client_secret (7.4+), description, event_menu_name, event_menu_url, exec_params (removed in 6.4), exec_path, gsm_modem, name, passwd, redirection_url (7.4+), refresh_token (7.4+), script, smtp_email, smtp_helo, smtp_server, timeout, token_url (7.4+), username. | |
| server | No | Target Zabbix server. Available: default. Defaults to 'default' if omitted. | |
| 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: mediatypeid (comma-separated 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 mediatype.get parameters, merged into the request as-is. Parameters: mediaids, userids. Sub-object selects (value 'extend', 'count' or a list of property names): selectActions (7.0+), selectMessageTemplates, selectUsers. 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. | |
| mediatypeids | No | Return only media types with the given IDs. | |
| searchWildcardsEnabled | No | If true, enable * and ? wildcards in search patterns. |
