SSH - SFTP agentless check (Zabbix 7.4)

MikeP — Thu, 28 May 2026 11:11:31 GMT

Hello,

does anyone have an experience using SFTP subsystem with Zabbix ssh.run item that was announced to be available since 7.2?
SSH check on the host works just fine and results are returned as expected, using sftp from command line from Zabbix machine works as well.

However I was not able to find any example/explanation on use of SFTP subsystem, though it is mentioned in documentation https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...hecks#overview (ssh.run[SFTPBackup,,,,,sftp])

My natural assumption was that it should be possible to use genuine SFTP commands here like version / ls / get / bye / etc.
No matter the commands the item jut times out.

Does anyone have an experience/example with this item?

Zabbix Database Information

Manuel Deschambault — Wed, 27 May 2026 15:49:14 GMT

Zabbix server 7.4, Grafana server 12.3.0

I have a PostgreSQL 18 database under the hood, both for Zabbix and Grafana

I have a PostgreSQL datasource setup in Grafana using a read-only user I have setup in the Zabbix PostgreSQL database.

The problem I have is the 'host' table does not have an field containing the host name (at least in readable format), and I can't seem to find the other table that would have this information (that I could do a SQL join query on).

Is there a complete map of the Database available somewhere, or does someone have some exploration steps documented?

Email notification issue after recently updated sendgrid password.

beingomkardalvi — Wed, 27 May 2026 05:24:53 GMT

We have Zabbix deploved in a Docker container and recently updated the SendGrid password. Since then, Zabbix email notifications have stopped working, even after updating the new password in the media type configuration. I tested email sending manually from inside the container, and emails are being received successfully. However, when testing through the Zabbix media type, it fails with the following error:
"Timeout was reached: Connection timed out after 40002 milliseconds."
Any idea how can I resolve it.?

Using below command I am able to receive email when I am trying inside container.

curl -X POST "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send" -H "Authorization: Bearer abc" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"personalizations":[{"to":[{"email":"abc@xyz.com"}],"subject":"Test Email from Zabbix"}],"from":{"email":"xyz@abc.com"},"content":[{"type":"text/plain","value":"Test message from Zabbix server"}]}'

Zabbix 8 stopped connecting to database following apt upgrade

spyro — Mon, 25 May 2026 23:42:55 GMT

Hi,

My zabbix-server has stopped connecting to the postgres database since updating to the current version.

The database is available only via unix sockets, and is running on a nonstandard "port" (5433, not 5432).

It appears to be ignoring the DBPort variable in the configuration file, wheras previously it would use this value to determine the correct unix socket path (which for postgres seems to incorporate the port number (even if you dont listen on tcp).

This was working perfectly prior to the update, and the database is still accessible from the command line.

Is there a known fix for this?

The log contains messages such as:

[Z3001] connection to database 'zabbix' failed: [0] connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "zabbix"

(note the incorrect socket path, it should be /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5433)

Trigger for net.dns.get with macros

pvsa — Mon, 25 May 2026 15:22:42 GMT

Hi,

Zabbix team since years. Thanks for building reliable monitoring software open source!

I started to setup a DNS Integrity Check with an item like net.dns.get[1.1.1.1,{HOST.DNS},A,3,1] combined with preprocessing JSONPath "$.answer_section[0].rdata.a"
and a trigger last(/mails2/net.dns.get[1.1.1.1,{HOST.DNS},A,3,1],#1)<>"{HOST.IP}" - in the assumption that it would work like example 16 here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ers/expression
But this is not the case.

Latest data shows the right value, but the trigger does not alert correctly. I've tried text and character and even last and find function without success.
Another thing that surprises me, was that when importing a pre-generated template - i can use

Code:

triggers:
- uuid: e345742d3a1b4bbe8c2a83a4ac4db28a
expression: 'find(/Template DNS Integrity Check/net.dns.get[,{HOST.DNS},A,3,1],#1,"like","{HOST.IP}")=0'
name: 'DNS Mismatch [System DNS]: Forward lookup of {HOST.DNS} returned wrong IP'
opdata: 'Expected: {HOST.IP} | Got: {ITEM.LASTVALUE}'
priority: HIGH
description: 'System DNS resolved {HOST.DNS} to an IP that does not match {HOST.IP}.'

But i didn't find a way to configure this with the dialog.

zabbix server 7.4.6 and agent version 2 (7.4.2)

I'm was not sure it net.dns.get is already officially supported as it is not in the "Standard items" list from item key drop down. Of course i could use the net.dns.record but I think it's worth to ask.

Zabbix and Whatsapp Alerting

ejayz — Sat, 23 May 2026 01:41:37 GMT

Hi , We created simple script for whatsapp and zabbix alerting for people on the homelab or people that cannot use meta api since it requires business and payment ( As far as i know) . We made a docker image for easier integration or just node js .

On readme it already includes on how to add it on zabbix media type and what are needed.

It uses personal whatsapp account by linking device using qr code by visiting and also queued the alert (Tried doing burst send and i got banned so queueing is added) .
http://:/login

Attached Example of Message:

Hoping for feedback.

AIX - cannot read response: timed out

FreddyBeach — Thu, 21 May 2026 15:39:52 GMT

I am starting to do a Proof of Concept with Zabbix, and have the server installed on RHEL 9.4 with a PostgreSQL DB.
20+ windows servers being monitored, no issues.

We have two AIX 7.2 LPAR monitored, with the 7.4.3-1 agent installed, with PSK no issues.

Attempting to add a third AIX LPAR, that is an Oracle DB server, using same setup as the previous two AIX LPAR, but keep getting the Availability in RED for ZBX.
Mousing over the icon we see, "Get value from agent failed: Cannot read response: timed out"

I have increased the Timeout value from 3 to 10 , but issue still remains.

Basic telnet to a port from the Zab Server to the LPAR to monitor is successful.

Any ideas what to try next to debug this issue?

Zabbix Agent: 7.4.3-1 on AIX 7.2
Zabbix Server 7.4.5 on RHEL 9.4
