| filter | object | Return only those results that exactly match the given filter. Accepts an array, where the keys are property names, and the values are either a single value or an array of values to match against. Supports additional filters: host - technical name of the host that the trigger belongs to;hostid - ID of the host that the trigger belongs to. |
