Mail notification problem

[pierra]

Hi all,

I successfully installed the 1.8.1 Zabbix version.

I use a little script to send my mail notification cause my SMTP server needs auth.

#!/bin/sh

zabbixemailto=$1
zabbixsubject=$2
zabbixbody="this is an automatic notification from zabbix "$3
export [email protected]
export zabbixemailto
export zabbixsubject
export zabbixbody
export smtpserver=SERVER ADDRESS
export smtplogin= USER
export smtppass= PASSWORD

/usr/bin/sendEmail -f $smtpemailfrom -t $zabbixemailto -u $zabbixsubject -m $zabbixbody -s $smtpserver -xu $smtplogin -xp $smtppass

I configured a lot of action to test this script.
Now I just let one :

Event source : Triggers
Default subject : {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}
Default message : {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}
Recovery message: yes
Recovery subject : {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}
Recovery message : {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}
Status : Enabled

Even if I receive good notification like :

Tittle :
Zabbix Server has just been restarted: PROBLEM

Body :
this is an automatic notification from zabbix
Zabbix Server has just been restarted: PROBLEM

The problem is I receive a lot of notification like :

Tittle :
{TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}

Body :
this is an automatic notification from zabbix
{TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}

I tried to restart Zabbix-server, but nothing.

PS : Sorry for my english.

Don't apologise for your English. The meaning's clear enough

I installed zabbix for the first time this week. I had configured zabbix to monitor around a dozen hosts; an even mixture of linux and windows servers. I had configured an action to send email to me, and thought everything was working fine. At some point during the day yesterday, I began receiving lots of emails similar to yours with the subject {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS} and the body {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS} . I was getting a new email about every 15 seconds. Other zabbix users weren't getting these message.

At one point, I had removed my email address from my user account. If I looked in the alerts table within mysql, I could see hundreds of messages with a status indicating that delivery had failed because zabbix couldn't find an email address to send it to.

I then deleted all of my users as well as the actions that were defined and recreated them. The messages stopped, and I no longer see the alerts in the alerts table.
