Email Alerts - From INVENTORY POC EMAIL

[fxm73]

Zabbix release: 2.4.1

I've been running Zabbix for a while as a migration from Nagios, and am having some issues understanding how to email an alert using the field from the host:

• {INVENTORY.POC.PRIMARY.EMAIL<1-9>} (I'm wanting to use #1 for this example)

I can create a trigger that actions an action after 20 minutes of a host being unresponsive.

However the action can only be created by having a static user assigned to the action. Where the user is created under Administration > Users.

This works reliably and as expected, however what I am attempting to do is to create an action that uses the {INVENTORY.POC.PRIMARY.EMAIL<1-9>} field to email the assigned person for that host. Without the need to create 3000+ users which then need to be managed individually, and then have 3000+ actions created and then manually assigned to each host.

I'm wondering if anyone could enlighten me on how I can accomplish this.

It's very uncommon, but... You could create a custom script that takes one parameter (the {INVENTORY.POC.PRIMARY.EMAIL<1-9>} macro) and, in the action, use remote command operation with Zabbix server as Execute on option.

That way, you don't need configure user to send.

This script must send an e-mail to parameter received by remote command.

evertonco thanks for that. I've actually completed that now and have both email, and sms working with a script when the services now go offline.

I placed the scripts in /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/

email.sh

#!/bin/sh

export [email protected]
export zabbixemailto=$1
export zabbixsubject="$2"
export zabbixbody="$3"
export smtpserver=xXxXxXxXx.X.X
export [email protected]

/usr/bin/sendemail -f $smtpemailfrom -t $zabbixemailto -u $zabbixsubject -m $zabbixbody -s $smtpserver:25 -bcc $bcc

sms.sh

#!/bin/sh
export smsfrom=XxXxXxXxXx
export smsusername=XxXxXxXxXx
export smspassword=XxXxXxXxXx
export zabbixsmsto=$1
export zabbixbody="$2"

curl -X POST -d "username='$smsusername'&password='$smspassword'&from='$smsfrom'&to=$zabbixsmsto&message='$zabbixbody'" http://api.smsbroadcast.com.au/api.php
