    Email Priority

    Hi guys, is there a way I can get Zabbix to send me emails flagged as urgent/high priority? Cheers.

    use the script action and some creative tool to send the email such as mail/nail/whatever.

      Hi bbrendon,

      Thanks for the reply but I don't think I understand. Could you please explain a little more thoroughly as I'm a pretty big noob.

          A custom script can be executed as an operation when using alerts. You can read more about using scripts at your local library ... or in the Zabbix manual. The script will have to be something to the affect that it will generate the email with the "urgent/high" priority flag set and then send it to you. Not a very simple solution, but it is one. The other one would be to modify the Zabbix code itself. Somewhere in the code should be a function to generate an email. You just have to find that and figure out how to add that parameter. Also not a very simple solution. A slight departure would be to just put the keyword "URGENT" in the subject of the alert and have your email client's rules take care of it. Might be some other solutions, but that is all I got.
