Zabbix 3.2 Not running a Script

[Beveridge]

First of all, I am very much new to linux and zabbix, so I apologize in advance.

We have tried a slack integration and I cannot seem to get it to work

If I run this script manually, it works like a charm. I just cannot get Zabbix to call it.

We have followed this page https://github.com/ericoc/zabbix-slack-alertscript

I turned the debug level to 5 in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf and restarted the zabbix server service to make it work

I then did a tail | grep on /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log and nothing is showing up for the script name. Not sure if that is the right log to look at.

The name of the script is slack.sh
The perms are currently 777 (were 755 initially) on the file
the directory the script is in is /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts (also have it in /usr/local/share/zabbix/alertscripts in case)
Zabbix conf file points the alertscript directory to /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts

When my colleague initially created the zabbix server, zabbix was a nologin system account, it is now bin/bash as I read that the account that runs the zabbix-server.service needs to be able to run the script, but still no dice.

So my questions are

1) am I looking at the right log?

2) is my alert set up properly. Below are screen shots of my settings





Odds are there is something fairly obvious here, again sorry for the newbie questions

Is it even running? Add something like
echo `date` "$1" >> /tmp/zabbix-slack-alertscript.log
echo `date` "$2" >> /tmp/zabbix-slack-alertscript.log
to the script.

Replace curl binary with its full path
which curl
returns it.

Thats all I can think of, can't see the images.

I also had problems with the scripts....
I´ve tried a lot of different scripts with phyton, ssmtp and some other but not even one worked properly...
if you want to get email notifications i would recommend you to set up the email notification via gmail. It´s really easy! if you don´t know how just ask i can help =)

[Beveridge]

mail notifications work great. But since slack is our main form of communication it has been requested an obscene amount of times

Thank you @nobodysu I added the echo to the file and verified that is is not launching the script when the alerts are triggered (no log file is created). I ran the script manually and it creates it.

Sorry for my unix noobness, but I did not understand

"Replace curl binary with its full path which curl returns it."

The only curl thing i saw in the script was

curl -m 5 --data-urlencode "${payload}" $url -A 'zabbix-slack-alertscript / https://github.com/ericoc/zabbix-slack-alertscript'

And I am not sure what I am suppose to full path

[nobodysu]

please provide output of commands:

which curl

and

echo $PATH

And you didn't specify the OS server is running on. Is it installed from packages or by compiling? Also I can't see the images, only small thumbnails.

does it work when executed manualy from zabbix account as described in guthub readme?

[Beveridge]

Yes we were. The main issue was Zabbix wasn't running the script. We got it working, but before I post the solution I want to recreate it. Thank you for all who assisted on this thread

I'm using the same script and it has also stopped working since upgrading to 3.2. What was your solution?

[sugaretto]

Hi, so which was the solution of your issue?
