E-mail Notifications

[skarp]

I've been trying to set up Zabbix v1.6 to send E-mail notifications for the fired triggers.

I've got a number of triggers for which I would like to receive E-mail notifications. Instead of creating an action for each trigger, I've decided to create 1 "Send Message" action and added the Filter {Trigger Description Not Like ""} to include ALL the fired triggers. In theory, this Action should run for each fired up trigger, but instead it doesn't run at all.

My hosts are all configured properly, monitoring works fine and the triggers fire up just fine as well.

I've caused a few triggers to fire and checked the Actions History but the number of run Actions is zero, while also the Server logs don't report any errors.

Any ideas?



Under Administration / Media Types I've added a new media type with the following information:
- Description: MyCompany E-mail
- Type: Email
- SMTP Server: smtp.mycompany.com
- SMTP Helo: zabbix
- SMTP email: [email protected]

I've also set up a zabbix user to receive the e-mails, called ZabbixNotifications, and I added the e-mail address of [email protected] to that user.

Got it!

- I'm posting this in case it helps anyone -

Got it! ... I've changed the Action Trigger Filter from
Trigger Description Not Like ""
to
Trigger Description Not Like "Something Nonexistent"
and it now works as a charm!

... Zabbix now sends an e-mail for every trigger fired.
