proxy_get
Read-only
Retrieve Zabbix proxies to inspect operating mode, connection settings, and assigned hosts for distributed monitoring management.
Instructions
Retrieve Zabbix proxies. Proxies collect monitoring data on behalf of the Zabbix server, enabling distributed monitoring across network segments, firewalls, and geographic regions. Each proxy has a mode (0=active, 1=passive), connection settings, and a list of assigned hosts. Use selectHosts to include assigned hosts (extra_params), selectInterface for connection details on releases before 7.0.
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: address (7.0+), allowed_addresses (7.0+), auto_compress (removed in 7.0), compatibility (6.4+), custom_timeouts (7.0+), host (removed in 7.0), lastaccess, local_address (7.0+), local_port (7.0+), name (7.0+), operating_mode (7.0+), port (7.0+), proxy_address (removed in 7.0), proxy_groupid (7.0+), state (7.0+), status (removed in 7.0), timeout_browser (7.0+), timeout_db_monitor (7.0+), timeout_external_check (7.0+), timeout_http_agent (7.0+), timeout_script (7.0+), timeout_simple_check (7.0+), timeout_snmp_agent (7.0+), timeout_ssh_agent (7.0+), timeout_telemetry_query (8.0+), timeout_telnet_agent (7.0+), timeout_zabbix_agent (7.0+), tls_accept, tls_connect, tls_issuer, tls_subject, version (6.4+). Text properties cannot be filtered; use 'search' for them. | |
| output | No | Properties of the proxy object to return. Pass 'extend' for all, 'count' for the number of matches only, or a list of property names. Default when omitted: proxyid, name, operating_mode, state. Properties: address (7.0+), allowed_addresses (7.0+), auto_compress (removed in 7.0), compatibility (6.4+), custom_timeouts (7.0+), description, host (removed in 7.0), lastaccess, local_address (7.0+), local_port (7.0+), name (7.0+), operating_mode (7.0+), port (7.0+), proxy_address (removed in 7.0), proxy_groupid (7.0+), proxyid, state (7.0+), status (removed in 7.0), timeout_browser (7.0+), timeout_db_monitor (7.0+), timeout_external_check (7.0+), timeout_http_agent (7.0+), timeout_script (7.0+), timeout_simple_check (7.0+), timeout_snmp_agent (7.0+), timeout_ssh_agent (7.0+), timeout_telemetry_query (8.0+), timeout_telnet_agent (7.0+), timeout_zabbix_agent (7.0+), tls_accept, tls_connect, tls_issuer, tls_subject, version (6.4+). | |
| search | No | Return results whose string properties contain the given pattern (case-insensitive; '*' is a wildcard when searchWildcardsEnabled is true). Example: {"name": "web"}. Keys: address (7.0+), allowed_addresses (7.0+), description, host (removed in 7.0), local_address (7.0+), local_port (7.0+), name (7.0+), port (7.0+), proxy_address (removed in 7.0), timeout_browser (7.0+), timeout_db_monitor (7.0+), timeout_external_check (7.0+), timeout_http_agent (7.0+), timeout_script (7.0+), timeout_simple_check (7.0+), timeout_snmp_agent (7.0+), timeout_ssh_agent (7.0+), timeout_telemetry_query (8.0+), timeout_telnet_agent (7.0+), timeout_zabbix_agent (7.0+), tls_issuer, tls_subject. | |
| server | No | Target Zabbix server. Available: default. Defaults to 'default' if omitted. | |
| proxyids | No | Return only proxies 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: proxyid (7.0+), name (7.0+), operating_mode (7.0+), host (removed in 7.0), hostid (removed in 7.0), status (removed in 7.0) (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 proxy.get parameters, merged into the request as-is. Parameters: proxy_groupids (7.0+). Sub-object selects (value 'extend', 'count' or a list of property names): selectApm (8.0+), selectAssignedHosts (7.0+), selectHosts, selectInterface (removed in 7.0), selectProxyGroup (7.0+). 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. |
