write trigger events in a text file?

[whitehat]

Is it possible to write trigger events to a text file? Some kind of event log?
Now I see the only option is to create a daemon, that will periodically get events from the zabbix DB and then write them to a file, but, may be there is a simple way?

Tie an action to it which calls an external notification script that really just logs to file.

Thank you, after uncommenting "EnableRemoteCommands=1" in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf and adding "zabbix ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in visudo i've managed to write a log file with a remote command: "Zabbix Server:sudo echo "{HOSTNAME}: {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}" >> /tmp/test.log"

Using no passwd in the sudo file for Zabbix is a bad idea unless you limit it to a specific script. There is little in the way of authentication between the agent and server and thus it's possible for someone to take over your system through a sudo command via the zabbix agent.

The idea I was thinking of was tie it to an alerting script similar to the sms and the authenticated smtp scripts. Under administration->media types you can select script and then add a link to your script there. Then you set your action to use this script. This is much safer from a security perspective.

If the media type script does not work then please please please tie the sudo command to a specific script which can only be edited by the root user.
