NAME

Zabbix::API::Item -- Zabbix item objects

SYNOPSIS

  use Zabbix::API::Item qw/:item_types/;

  # fetch a single item...
  my $item = $zabbix->fetch('Item', params => { filter => { itemid => 22379 } })->[0];

  # manipulate its properties...
  $item->data->{multiplier} = 3;

  # and update the properties on the server.
  $item->push;

  # fetch all items from a host
  my $host = $zabbix->fetch('Host', params => { filter => { hostid => 10105 } })->[0];
  my $items = $host->items;

  # create a new item
  my $new_item = Zabbix::API::Item->new(
      root => $zabbix,
      data => { type => ITEM_TYPE_SNMPV2C,
                value_type => ITEM_VALUE_TYPE_UINT64,
                snmp_oid => ...,
                snmp_community => ...,
                # that's right, key_
                key_ => 'mynewitem',
                # so far the following is the only way to create a "item belongs
                # to host" relationship
                hostid => $host->id,
      });

  # an itemid will be generated if the item does not already exist
  $new_item->push;

DESCRIPTION

Handles CRUD for Zabbix item objects.

This is a subclass of Zabbix::API::CRUDE; see there for inherited methods.

METHODS

collides()

Returns true if the item exists with this key on this hostid, false otherwise.

host()

Accessor for a local host attribute, which it also happens to set from the server data if it isn't set already. The host is an instance of Zabbix::API::Host.

EXPORTS

Way too many constants, but for once they're documented (here: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/1.8/api/item/constants).

Nothing is exported by default; you can use the tags :item_types, :value_types, :data_types and :status_types (or import by name).

BUGS AND ODDITIES

This is probably because of the extremely smart way the Zabbix team has set up their database schema, but what you'd expect to be "key" in an item's data is actually "key_".
