Custom Media types, script fails on action

[zabbixx]

Hello i have a problem my simple script waont be executed on a action
in events they still is the message "fails"
aim using zabbix Zabbix Appliance 2.0.6

in zabbix_server.cfg the default path of the alertscripts is defined as

 ### Option: ExternalScripts
#       Full path to location of external scripts.
#       Default depends on compilation options.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
# ExternalScripts=${datadir}/zabbix/externalscripts


### Option: AlertScriptsPath
#       Full path to location of custom alert scripts.
#       Default depends on compilation options.
#
# Mandatory: no
# Default:
AlertScriptsPath=${datadir}/zabbix/alertscripts

by default Aplience this folder does not exist (the same by externalscripts!)
but externalscripts works for me :-) => ${datadir} = /usr/share/

so i created this folder

/usr/share/zabbix/alertscripts

i have a simple script there "test.sh"

#!/bin/bash
echo `date >> /tmp/test_ok.txt`

the user who has this media type is a superadmin ( no right problems for this zabbix user)

zabbix:/usr/share/zabbix/alertscripts # ls -als
total 12
4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Aug 23 15:18 .
4 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Aug 23 15:18 ..
4 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root   44 Aug 23 15:18 test.sh

does zabbix executing this script as root ?
for externalscripts it works :

zabbix:/usr/share/zabbix/externalscripts # ls -als
total 28
4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Aug 22 17:58 .
4 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Aug 23 15:18 ..
4 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 2291 Jul 17 12:47 sanbox_get_connUnitId.sh
4 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root  702 Jul 17 12:47 sanbox_get_connUnitPortHWState_by_port.sh
4 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3778 Jul 17 16:54 sanbox_get_connUnitSensorMessage_by_sensor.sh
8 -rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 7103 Jul 17 12:47 sanbox_get_connUnitSensorStatus_by_sensor.sh

anny suggestions ?

Setting file permissions in this context such "high" is no good practice.
I suggest to restrict permissions a bit:

# chown root:zabbix test.sh
# chmod 0750 test.sh

That should be sufficient in most environments.

What is the reason for failing according to Event details in frontend?
Do you already have inspected the zabbix_server.log file for errors?

Hello BDiE8VNy,

ok i changed the permission how you say.


thx that you pointed me to the event details!
