Passing phone number Alert script?

[clarkritchie]

I read the page on Custom Scripts. Zabbix seems to always pass my email address as the first argument to my custom script, not the value I specified on the Media Type.

Here's my script, test2.sh -- I've hard coded the email address so that I can capture the first argument in the email body:

#!/bin/bash
to=$1
subject=$2
body=$3

cat <<EOF | mail -s "From Script: $subject" "[email protected]"
to: $to
subject: $subject
body: $body
EOF


I defined this as a system-wide media type and I added the media type to myself with a Send to value of +11235551212.

Should I not be getting +11235551212 as the first argument to test2.sh? $1 is always my email address.

I just tried it on Zabbix 2.4 - it's passing the phohe number correctly (5551212, +11235551212 or +1-123-555-1212 - all passed correctly to $1)

What Zabbix version are you using?
Are you sure, that your Action in Configuration --> Actions is referring to you "Zoom Telerivet 2" and not any other media type?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, see attached -- my action is using my "Zoom Telerivet 2" media type.

We are using 2.2.4.

I'll run through this again today top to bottom to make sure I am not missing anything, but at the moment I am stumped.

Interesting. I just ran through this again, top to bottom. $1 is always my email address.

On my user account, under Media, Email is the first item, then some test media entries, finally my custom Zoom Telerivet media type.

For grins, I disabled Email on my account, ran my test again, and $1 was correct: I got the phone number specified for the Zoom Telerivet media type on my account. Great!

I just re-enabled Email media type and ran my test again, and $1 is still correct -- the phone number.

So maybe this was a quirk on my account. Disabling/reenabling the default media type cleared something out.
