Zabbix 3.4.3 - AlertScriptsPath Ignored

[devsum]

Wanted to post this as a bug report as I've validated on my dev and production ZBX systems.

In my zabbix 3.2 environment, we place our alert scripts in /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts

root@null:/usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts# ls -l /usr/lib/zabbix/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 13 15:06 alertscripts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 26 10:55 externalscripts

Our Zabbix Server confs call out this dir:

AlertScriptsPath=/usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts

After upgrading to 3.4.3, I've noticed this variable is ignored and zabbix only looks for scripts in {datadir} which in my (and I imagine most cases) is /usr/share/zabbix/alertscripts/.

I believe the AlertScriptPath parameter is being mishandled or is ignored.

Cannot confirm it on Zabbix 3.4.4

[root@zabbix tmp]# cat /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf | grep AlertScripts
### Option: AlertScriptsPath
# AlertScriptsPath=${datadir}/zabbix/alertscripts
AlertScriptsPath=/etc/zabbix/alertscripts

Have you restarted Zabbix Server after config change in zabbix_server.conf ?

Have you restarted Zabbix Server after config change in zabbix_server.conf ?

Yep, reloaded the conf cache, restarted the zabbix-server.service, and even the whole host.

I should mention, if I have any path specified for alertscripts, the param seems to be mishandled and unused.

For example, my datadir is /usr/share/zabbix/alertscripts... If I place my alert scripts in that dir and comment out the alertscripts param in the configuration file, the scripts execute correctly. As soon as I call out a dir which could be /usr/share/zabbix/alertscripts or /foo/alertscripts, the scripts will not run and the action log never even shows an attempt to call the script.

Have you tried to upgrade to 3.4.4 ? i have tested 3.4.4 with different alertpaths, and everything seems ok.
Does zabbix OS user have read/execute rights on the Alertscripts path ?
Do you have SELINUX enabled ?
