Send Email via gmail with authentication

[ruicruz]

Good afternoon,

I would like to configure zabbix to send me alerts of triggers via email.

I want to send via gmail which requires authentication.

I am having difficulties figuring out how to configure alerts via email.

Can somebody help ?

Thank you

Hello,

You have to install Postfix as mail relay client on your Zabbix server which authenticates to Gmail. All messages from Zabbix must be first sent to Postfix on localhost then.

Here is a manual that may help you: https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/linux/u...ix-gmail-smtp/ It is for Ubuntu systems but can be modified to apply on other OS as well.

Or use python (alert) script which is able to handle auth:

BTW: Zabbix 3.0 will provide SMTP auth option by default

Thank you both for your answers.

Think i will try ingus.vilnis solution, i am kinda more confortable with changing configurations on files than programming.

BTW: I am using zabbix 2.2.2 do you guys know i can upgrade it without losing my database ?

Best Regards to both

Simple - upgrade server and start server - http://blog.zabbix.com/zabbix-2-2-fe...pgrading/1956/

But don't forget: backup/backup/backup

Hello again,

I have managed to put postfix to send emails to me via gmail.

Now my doubt is how to put postfix to work with zabbix.

Is there a need of a script or the configurations from zabbix are enough ?

Thank you once again

Hi,

It should be enough with the standard configs.

Go to Administration -> Media Types
Create a new media type.
If I remember correct the settings should be as follows:
SMTP server: localhost
SMTP helo: localhost
SMTP email: [email protected]

Thank you once again Ingus,

in the smtp email, it should the email sending, because to configure the receiving email is in the users, am i right ?

Best regards,

[ingus.vilnis]

Yes, you are correct, that is the sending email. User emails are configured in their profiles.

Just tested, it is working.

Thank you very much for your help.

Is there anywhere where i can give feedback for you help ?

Best Regards

[ingus.vilnis]

I am happy that you got this working.

Regarding feedback I even don't know what to say.
Your previous reply said already a lot.

Best Regards,
