zabbix 2.2 sending only the recovery message

[raphboll]

Hi,

I've setup an action to send email when 'not in maintenance' and Trigger.value = Problem. I've ticked the recovery email box.

Zabbix does not send an email when it detects a problem. When the problem is corrected zabbix sends an 'OK' recovery email.

Is there something to configure to enable sending the 'Problem' email? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Cheers

re: zabbix 2.2 sending only the recovery message

I have the same issue on 2.4. The Action Logs indicate that the Problem message is being sent out, but I do not receive it, however I receive the OK messages without problem. Have you found any resolution?

Additionally, have you tried checking the Action Logs under Administration>Audit>Action Logs to see if the messages are being sent out successfully?

Hi,

Yes, I've found a solution to my problem:
I was using the sendEmail command:
/usr/bin/sendEmail -f $smtpemailfrom -t $zabbixemailto -u $zabbixsubject -m $zabbixbody -s $smtpserver:25 -xu $smtplogin -xp $smtppass

which is missing quotes and thus options are not parsed correctly when the 'problem' email is sent. The 'ok' email is ... well ... ok ;-)

Here is the corrected command that works:

/usr/bin/sendEmail -f $smtpemailfrom -t $zabbixemailto -u "$zabbixsubject" -m "$zabbixbody" -s $smtpserver:25 -xu $smtplogin -xp $smtppass
