...argh can someone please move this to help... I didn't mean to post this in suggestions and feedback....
First I'll go over what I've done so far
-I set up a user, eric
-Added my email address to that user
-I setup the SMTP info in "Media Types" (smtp server, etc.)
Then I created a test external script Item bound to the Zabbix server. I have the script just "echo 0" or "echo 1." I can graph this Item perfectly fine... so I know the item is working fine.
I setup a Trigger on the previously mentioned Item, and set it to fire off when the "Item = 1"
I then set up an Action, when the "Trigger = Trigger Test" and the "Trigger value = PROBLEM"
I modify my script to "echo 1," and on the Zabbix dashboard an Issue appears for "Trigger test" just fine as one would expect
...but I never get an email, nothing is logged in zabbix_server.log, and nothing is ever noted in the Administration->Notifications menu. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with my action, because everything else is working as expected.
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
