how to create a script media type

[RandySpinaGE]

because action -> "remote command" passes NO arguments NOR Repeats
I set upon creating an action using "script media type"
You will GET macros AND zabbiix will repeat scheduling it while in alarm.

1) Create Media Type
decription: ex: External_command
type: script
Script name: script.sh (only) (leave out the directory which is set in zabbix_server.conf as AlertScriptsPath= )

2) Create a USER maybe called script_runner
list all users and select this new user's media in the actions column
configure it to be what you just created my ex: = "External_Command"

3) Now select this NEW MEDIA
type: "External_Command"
Send to: /full/pathname/script.sh

4) Create trigger

5) Action
Action Type: Send message (NOT remote command)
send message to: script_runner

6) Your done

Have fun with Macros in subject and messagebody that get sent to your script as arguments $2 $3... its great

My script calls zabbix_get on the Actions's {IPADDRESS} and {TRIGGER.KEY} and | mail -s "$2" [email protected]

This sends UPDATED VALUE of item to on-call person(s) email in repeat interval ONLY while in alarm

Thats what my Application guy Wanted

I hope this helps someone - a few fields got me confused and it took a full workday to get it.

zabbix 1.1.3 (1.1.x)

Thank You.

Thank you for the post I find it very interesting, Does anyone know how to do the same (increase frequency or even activate queries when a trigger is on) but based in snmp queries?

On linux, use the snmptrap command - part of the net-snmp suite.

Simply have you script call 'snmptrap <options>.
There will be a similar package for windows, I'm sure - GIYF.

Hi,
thanks for the guide....very helpful!
I have only a problem : when the trigger become true the action is fired and i see in actions that zabbix response is "sent" but bothing happens...

I create a test script that write it seems not to work (if called from zabbix)
I tested it running it from command line as zabbix user and it work correctly..

Any help?
thanks,Riccardo

Thanks the OP for posting this. This is a very helpful cookbook. I will now be using this to send SMS alert for our zabbix.

our sms gateway is called through a service, that's why it can't be configured as zabbix internal.
