Zabbix 1.8.11 jabber notifications with Google Apps

[jeremyjr]

Hello,

I would like to know if someone already sent successfully notifications using jabber and a Google Apps account.
To allow a jabber client to find the jabber server using only an account based on a specific domain (ex: [email protected]) we have to update our DNS with something like described here: http://www.olark.com/gtalk/check_srv
I saw a bug related to SRV records (https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-1029) but it's fixed into 1.8.11 provided by my Ubuntu 12.04.
I've updated my DNS and validated this using mcabber client (without "set server" into .mcabberrc).
But I can't received jabber notifications with zabbix client.
I have no error into the log and the php frontend shows me a green action with status "sent" into the dashboard.
I've tested with a wrong password for my account and in this case zabbix well raised these logs:
31468:20130110:153139.130 JABBER: ["[email protected]"] sasl authentication failed
31468:20130110:153209.419 JABBER: ["[email protected]"] sasl authentication failed
31468:20130110:153239.759 JABBER: ["[email protected]"] sasl authentication failed
So with the correct password, it seems to authenticate well but it's like if my notifications are sent to /dev/null
I successfully sent jabber notifications with an additional script for zabbix but it's not the best solution. I would like to know if I've missed something or if an other bug should be opened?
Thanks in advance for your help

Sorry I don't have any help for you, but I find this interesting. Would you mind providing a small guide to getting this up and running?

I would gladly explain the solution if I find it one day.
In the meantime you can see this post about the workaround with a script
