trigger mail problem

[rajeevtomar]

Hello All,

I have configured zabbix on SUSE Linux 9.2 and written one trigger which is mentioned below:

12303 Send mail when Jupiter server is unreachable {jupiter:status.last(0)}=2 Disaster !!! Enabled Change -Actions

But this trigger is not sending any mail to the specified user. In Action tab of trigger I have put "when trigger becomes as " ON.

Please help...what could be the reason why I am not getting any mail.

Regards
Rajeev

I ran into something like this using the ping from the agent. What appears to happen, when you use ping or status from the agent, if your server goes down, your agent is no longer going to report anything back to the server.

Try to set up the "unreachable" trigger using simple check with icmpping. This way, the server checks if it can ping the system and will actually give a return value.

Remember, if doing the icmpping with simple check, you need to install fping and modify the zabbix_server.conf file to set the path to fping. Then, perform a chmod to do suid on the fping file (chmod u+s fping)
