Installation
Filename or Directory name Description
zlm_python.so Python Zabbix Loadable Module.
pymodules Directory for Python modules available to
Python ZLM. Only modules in that directory
will be available for the calls
py[<modulename>, {parameters}]
pymodules/lib Python ZLM-specific Python modules.
pydaemons If the module placed in this directory will
export class Daemon, subclass of the
ZLM_Metric_Collector, Python ZLM will
spawn an instance of this class as separate
thread.

Verification
Try to call any py[] item
Call python.ping item
If this call return “1” you Python ZLM on agent
loaded correctly.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/d1ca0e4a-58ea-474a-9367-4cdbd3256a23-151009181936-lva1-app6891/85/zlm-cython-14-320.jpg)
