No actions/alerts?

[schneck]

I've been playing with Zabbix for some time (1.1b9, 1.1b10, 1.1b11)
now but havn't been able to generate email alerts yet.

I've got the following configuration:

* User ``schneck'' with
+ Default Permission: Read/Only
+ Media configuration: email address, active 1-7,00:00-23:59

* several hosts, with items and triggers each
(the triggers do fire, verified with the GUI and database)

* an ``action'' configuration:
Action type: send message
Source: trigger
Conditions: trigger = ON
Delay between messages: 30sec
Send message to: single user
User: schneck
Subject: {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}
Message: {TRIGGER.NAME}: {STATUS}
Repeat: Repeat
Number of repeats: 5
Delay between repeats: 180
Status: Enabled

But I don't receive any email messages and no actions
show up in the ``HISTORY OF ACTIONS'' view (also, the
``alerts'' table in the database is empty.)

I've probably missed something stupid, but can't find why
Zabbix doesn't even try to send me email. Also, when
increasing the DebugLevel to 4 in zabbix_server.conf, I
didn't see anything obviously wrong.

Any help?

Thanks,

\Bernhard.

PS: Zabbix is running on OpenBSD 3.7 and 3.9, currently
with SimpleChecks only (didn't try the agent yet)

Re: No actions/alerts?

After catching an action in the log file, I figured out that some settings in the "media" configuration were messed up.

Email alerts work fine now.

Hi,

I have got the same problems. What settings in media configuration have you updated please?

Thanks

fatiha,
If you are seeing the action but not the email then typically the email wasn't set correctly (or at all). If the email is set properly, check* your Linux system to make sure that it is sending emails properly.

Hope this helps. Have Fun!

*Checking depends on if you are using postmail, exim, sendmail, ect.

First, you're right, email wasn't set correctly and now it works.

I also did a mistake with a sql script, then I delete the important link between alerts table and ids table.

In fact it's not a bug but a misconfigured interface and I did a mistake when launching user sql script.

Thanks,
Fatiha

Glad it worked for you!
