Hi

I am having trouble setting up the following:

Creating 1 user, eg: zabbixadmin (which will have 1 username/password)
But setup the media, namely email. So that emails are sent to more than one person, i.e setup the email address in the following manor: addressForPerson1; addressForPerson2;addressForPerson3

Is this possible??? do i use ";" to seperate email addresses or ","

Still no luck.

I have a User group called "Zabbix admin", 3 users are part of this group. I have setup 2 people with the same email address, and 1 user with a different one.

EVERYTHING WORKS FINE (an email is sent), when i setup a trigger with the following action:
send message to: single user
user: person1 from the zabbix admin group

HOWEVER

WHEN i setup the trigger as follows:
send message to: User group
group: Zabbix admin

NOTHING HAPPENS i.e no email is sent....nothgin shows up in zabbix_suckered.log either

OK ive tried setting up triggers and configuring email alerts to be sent
for a single user which works fine! However when i configure it so that emails are required to be sent to a group of people nothing happens.

IS THIS A KNOWN BUG/IS THERE A FIX????

There is no known bugs related to sending notification to a group of users in ZABBIX. Please, double check you configuration.

Let me know if you still have this issue.

Alexi,

why I am not getting mails when a trigger status is true...!!!

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

have you assigned a media (Email) to the user you have selected to receive the message?

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have assigned media to the user.

But, nothing positive.

Please let me know what could be other problems...??

Rajeev,

Sending emails to multiple emails from one trigger is working with my Zabbix installation (Zabbix 1.1alpha7).

I have one user with 2 email addresses, and another user with 4 email addresses, and they are both in one user group.

The trigger action is set to alert the user GROUP, and all 6 email addresses are being used properly.

I'm using ZABBIX-1.0 on RedHat Enteprise 3 and I have the same problem.
No email at all for group nor single user...

Joe, for production reason, I cannot upgrade to Alpha 7. I must use what is
known as "stable release".

I've check my configuration many times to make sure that I didn't miss
something, and I have to tell that every single parameter is set correctly...

what happend with the mailling "module" ??

regards. :confused:

when an email is triggered try viewing your mail log. In suse do this:
tail -f /var/log/mail

This will allow you to see all mail transactions as they are happening.
