Configure Zabbix to send email notifications through Exim
- by gshankar
I've been working through the installation and configuration of Zabbix over the past couple of days and I think I've finally got everything working... except the sending of notifications / alerts.
I'm running on a Ubuntu server which is using Exim to send emails. I'd previously used this Exim setup to send notifications for Nagios so I know that Exim itself works.
However, I can't seem to get Zabbix to send out notifications.
Here's what I've done so far:
Set up a "test trigger" like so:
Trigger severity >= "Information" Send message to User "Admin"
The Admin user has a email contact (and I've sent command line emails from Exim on the server using "sendmail" to this email address successfully)
The media type for email is set. (I've tried 127.0.0.1)
I've checked the user permissions and it is read/write for all host groups
The triggers are definitely getting set but no actions are being called... I think my problem is within Zabbix as it's not actually executing the actions
And idea how to configure this correctly?
