Jabber - tls handshake failed

[Mechanix]

Hi,

first some specs:

Centos 7 x64
Zabbix 3.2.3
HDD: 50GB
RAM: 4GB

We would like to use the jabber integration but this doesnt work as I get following error: tls handshake failed.
I did some investigation and it seems that the package iksemel:

https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-8403

https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-10835

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803204

is the culprit as it doesnt support the new chipers.

However, version 1.5 is supporting OpenSSL: https://github.com/meduketto/iksemel

Is there any way to have the jabber support working or do I have to wait till the rpm package is released.

Thank you

I'm on the same boat as you: Did you solve the issue?

I'm trying to manually update iksemel to 1.5 but I get a bunch of dependencie requisites that I cannot fix

Sorry I cannot chip in with a suggestion, but I'll keep an eye on this thread and try to find solutions elsewere as well....

no, unfortunately not

Well, I'm happy to tell you that I found a workaround. Do you know how scripts work in zabbix?

I used sendxmpp and a script in order to send notifications. And It works.

I'm quite newbie to zabbix and centos so I think you might be able to configure it as well.

I want to make a manual and an entry on my blog, but more or less, it boils down to this:

Install sendxmpp
Create a script similar to this: https://calvinwells.com/2015/11/25/z...jabber-script/ (I had to tweak a couple of things to fit my setup)
Create a script on zabbix with the corresponding parameters
Create a new media type with the "Script" you just created.

And it works.

As I said: i'll try to make a post on the next days and publish it here and on reddit


Good luck!

Ok, I posted on my blog a full guide on how to enable these notifications.
I'm not trying to advertise: I don't get any revenue from my blog (which has no visits whatsoever). I just want to pot it somewhere people can find it and use it on their setups - this all comes from good faith.

Hope it helps. Sorry for the way it's written, I'm not a native english speaker!

Cheers!
