Zabbix remote command execution help

[cbidwell]

Hi all, this part is very new to me.

I've got a script set to run in the event that a trigger sets. I manually set this trigger and the script does not run.

my syntax is:

hostname:script.sh

my script is located ON the zabbix server in /home/zabbix/bin with appropriate perms. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
within the script, I even have sudo running the command.

Does the script need to reside on the host needing to run it? That would actually make sense to me, not sure why I even asked that.

Greetings,

Nope, this type of script has to be on the Zabbix server. Some things to check is that you have a shell spec listed in the file, ie. #!/bin/bash and that the Zabbix user has read / execute permissions on the server. To test this, I would recommend moving your script and use something like the following to see if the Syslog get's updated;

#!/bin/bash
#
# Simple script to send all Zabbix alerts to Syslog
#
/usr/bin/logger -p local6.info -t Zabbix "$@"

I actually use this when I am doing various development work.

So did the above advice work?
