Zabbix API trigger expression vs reduced trigger expression

I am trying to use the Zabbix API to create a table with a list of hosts and their corresponding triggers. I am using trigger.get to build triggerid->itemid associations and host.get to build hostid->itemid associations, and then join the two where itemid's match.

But from trigger.get, I can only get "description" (which is often not descriptive enough) and reduced trigger "expressions" (which are incomprehensible to me).

I need the full trigger expressions. Is there a way to get that from the API? Or is there a file where the reduced expressions are mapped to the full ones? Or perhaps some documentation online I might have missed? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

  • Have you tried the expandDescription and expandExpression flags?

    See trigger.get API documentation for all the supported flags.
