Zabbix sending emails

[sandhya]

Hi friends,

I have configured zabbix to send email notifications when an event with a 'problem' status occurs. The corresponding item monitors a log every 30 seconds to take the latest data. I have a specific problem here - when more than one 'problem' event happens within 30 seconds, then all the email notifications I receive contain the last item value.

For example,
The item collects 4 statements from the log 'critical info 1' , 'critical info 2', 'critical info 3', 'critical info 4'. The zabbix is configured to alert whenever the item collects a statement from the log with the word 'critical'. Hence, I receive 4 alerts one for each statement. And each event executes an action which is sending email notification. But the content of each mail has the last item value in it which is 'critical info 4'. The item value of the other three events does not come though an action have been taken correspondingly.

Have any one come across this problem? Kindly reply.

Thank you.

I think you need to edit your trigger.

Event generation needs to be "Normal + Multiple PROBLEM events"

Or if that doesn't work you could try creating a seperate action for each trigger (if you haven't already!)

Thanks for the reply.

I have configured triggers to have event generation for normal+multiple problems.
About actions, I have created a single action with event source as trigger.
Is it possible to create a seperate action for each trigger in zabbix?

kindly reply. Thanks in advance!!

Is it possible to create a seperate action for each trigger in zabbix?

Yes it is. In order to do so, you have to do following:
1)Create trigger with unique name
2)Create new action
Your action condition should look similar to:
Trigger value = "PROBLEM"
Trigger description like "your_unique_trigger_name"
Host = "name_of_your_host"

hope it helps!

As above, it is most certainly possible.

I have seperate actions for each event log (Application, System, DNS), so I receive any error in either log via email.

You'll want your trigger like so:

{TemplateABCDServers:eventlog[System].logseverity(0)}=4 & {TemplateADCDServers:eventlog[System].nodata(10)}#1

Then your action will be:

(A) AND (B)
(A) Trigger value = "PROBLEM"
(B) Trigger = "TemplateABCDServers:Eventlog: All System Errors"


I also have other triggers and actions for specific events in specific event logs which get sent via sms to a mobile phone.

Go into the Administration/Media Types (sure you know) and click Email.

Change your settings to these.
SMTP server: localhost
SMTP helo: FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) i.e. hostname.domain (hostname.google.com).
SMTP email: [email protected]

Hope that this helps you out.
Kind Regards,
Andrew.

I'm trying to figure this out.

Is there a way I can send emails from Zabbix.. so is the SMTP server Zabbix itself, so what would I put as the domain name if Zabbix was it's own mail server?

I did not see any provision for asking the userId and password while configuring the email.
