    Notification when action fails

    Consider this scenario I have a action that use an e-mail notification, assume that my SMTP server is down for some reason, if that will happen i want to conditionally (if my standard email action fails) launch an other action that will send message by other media (sms for example) or run a custom script. It is possible to do so ?

      Any updates on this?
      Zabbix 6.2 is out, but I could not find a way to do it yet.

      It would not be enough.

      Consider a scenario of having an important server (a web server for example), and SMTP server, and that you have configured actions such that in case of web server fail, send email (using SMTP server), and in case of SMTP server fail, send SMS.

      Now when SMTP server fails, you would receive the SMS, but if the web server failed just after it, the email notification action would fail and you would be unaware of that failure.
      That's when a fall-back action would come the rescue ,, we hope.
