Email in Zabbix

[jlkz]

I am running Zabbix 2.4.7 and trying to set up emails for triggers. I set up my media type with the email server information. I also set up my user with a email address. My problem is with the action. I've looked on the zabbix site but mine looks different for some reason. Idk how to add a trigger email action.

Choose another event source on "Configuration" -> "Actions" tab

In prtg we had to add a email password for the email it would be sending it from is that a thing with this too because I did not see a place for it.

[al.netrusov]

Could you please clarify your question? I don't get it.

Thanks.

Does the sending email address need to add password and credentials somewhere in Zabbix like other monitoring programs?

[al.netrusov]

Well, did you read Zabbix documentation?

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.4/manual/config/notifications/media/email

Configure Email media type and when it's done select it in action on "Operations" tab

Hey All,

I'm having some troubles too. I finally got emails to send using the following help online...

Might help some others.

My trouble is I'm now receiving emails, but the variables aren't coming through. Here's what I get
================================================== =======

Trigger: SERVERNAME is unavailable by ICMP Trigger status: OK Trigger severity: Average Trigger URL:

Item values:

1. ICMP ping (SERVERNAME:icmpping): Up (1) 2. *UNKNOWN* (*UNKNOWN*:*UNKNOWN*): *UNKNOWN* 3. *UNKNOWN* (*UNKNOWN*:*UNKNOWN*): *UNKNOWN*

Original event ID: 22168
================================================== =======

I'm using the default Report Problems to Administrators Actions which had these variables configured.

================================================== ======
Trigger: {TRIGGER.NAME}
Trigger status: {TRIGGER.STATUS}
Trigger severity: {TRIGGER.SEVERITY}
Trigger URL: {TRIGGER.URL}

Item values:

1. {ITEM.NAME1} ({HOST.NAME1}:{ITEM.KEY1}): {ITEM.VALUE1}
2. {ITEM.NAME2} ({HOST.NAME2}:{ITEM.KEY2}): {ITEM.VALUE2}
3. {ITEM.NAME3} ({HOST.NAME3}:{ITEM.KEY3}): {ITEM.VALUE3}

Original event ID: {EVENT.ID}

================================================== ======

Thanks in advance.

Yeah lets try this another way i'll post some pictures of what I have done...

Also along with these pictures I setup a ip with the ping template on it so when I take that email down I will get a trigger and should get a email but i'm doing something wrong. Also I already made my user with the email address attached to it.

thanks you fixed my problem idk why all the other guides skipped this important information

Mine is working with the the variables tho 2 and 3 show as unknown but I think it's just cus there's only one the variable I guess.

[al.netrusov]

You right. These variables are for complex triggers where you calculate value using multiple items.
