Email Notifications

[paulorv]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find some good tutorials or HOWTOs to set up email notifications in Zabbix? I want Zabbix to email me if a server goes down, for example. I know it involves setting up sendmail or postfix but I am sort of a linux newb so I'm not even sure where to begin. I've searched the forums and found only mixed information but no concrete answers.

Thank You.

Sorry I was not very clear on my first post, actually what I need to know is how to setup Sendmail and Postfix to make it functional with Zabbix.

Actualy this is not zabbix-releated question. All you need is mail server that accepts smtp connections from zabbix without authentication.

Well, most distro's default postfix or sendmail installation would be ok. If MTA and zabbix are on different hosts you need to add you zabbix server ip to the list of "trusted" SMTP clients (mynetworks in postfix). 127.0.0.1/8 is in that list by default.

Refer to your mailserver documentation for more details. There are a LOT of tutorials available.
